This article collects reflections of a university team that carries out extensionism from an integral perspective on society–nature relations in a protected area in the northeast of Uruguay. Since 2013 the team integrated, mainly, by biologists and anthropologists has organized an interdisciplinary undergraduate training seminar at Universidad de la República, thought as a platform from which different actions have been deployed to outreach local people while cultivating processes of dialogue of knowledge. From the beginning of the experience there has been a permanent and sustained effort of scientific knowledge production that is conveyed in different strategies, namely undergraduate students research proposals, lecturers’ participation in other training courses and academic events, submission of articles, elaboration of graduate and postgraduate thesis and R&D projects. All this production allows today to acknowledge an integral trajectory.

Keywords : integrality; society–nature relations; dialogue of knowledges; Paso Centurión; Uruguay.
