An agronomy student from Uruguay, he arrived in the country on March 8 and was on the tour around Otago and Southland a week later.
He came from a 400ha property which farmed Hereford cattle, sheep and crop.
Herefords were the most popular cattle breed in Uruguay.
During a lunch-time stop at Colin and Lynne Gibson's Seadowns stud, near Oamaru, he said it was his first visit to New Zealand and the "beautiful" countryside was quite different from what he was used to.
The hills were a novelty as Uruguay was quite flat.
Uruguay looked to New Zealand for technological advances and admired the country's farming systems.
While in New Zealand, he was looking for a job, preferably on a farm, he said.
The tour attracted about 120 registrations and Mr Gibson, who has had his Hereford stud for about 15 years, said it was good to see such a large crowd.
It began with visits last Tuesday to Andy Denham (Stoneburn), Mr and Mrs Gibson (Seadowns) and Geof and Joyce Brown (Locharburn), followed by Alistair Campbell (Earnscleugh Station), Gray and Robyn Pannett (Limehills), Robert and Mary-Anne Kane (Westholm), Alan McCall (Kotare) and Steph Dew (Latimoor) and Laurie and Sharon Paterson (Waikaka).
On Wednesday, the tour visited Bruce and Carolynn Robertson (Duncraigen), Gordon Shearing (Pourakino Downs) and Colin and Fay King (Waiau) and concluded on Friday with visits to Chris and Jayne Douglas (Monymusk), Peter and Sue Lawson (Eldin), Helen Miller (Pyramid) and Geoff Speden (Speden).
