What can you do after blueberry picking?

Are you heading out to pick blueberries this Saturday or next?  if you are and you would like a great recommendation for somewhere to head for lunch afterwards then I would suggest Estancia Renacimiento.  We really enjoyed our long afternoon here in the sun last year after we went blueberry picking.  The lunch was great, the kids enjoyed playing in the large playground and with all the animals, overall it was a great afternoon out.  We will be heading back here for sure.

Estancia Renacimiento
address: Route 11, km 157 Canelones (basically it is the same route that you drive to get to Pilar's blueberry chacra)
