Let’s Plan Our Holiday

Uruguay, in the southern South-America, is the second smallest country of the continent, neighbouring giant countries like Brazil and Argentina. Uruguay is known for its Gauchos, giant barbecues, typical music styles and of course its football. Montevideo is the Capital, the main port of the country and by far the most populated city, with about 1.5 million inhabitants. Plaza Independencia is the heart of the old city and a starting point to explore the surprising colonial heritage of this city. The Mercado del Puerto (port market) is a wonderful place if you are looking for good restaurants and great atmosphere (open only in the afternoons).

Uruguay’s main tourist feature is the famous Punta del Este. The Atlantic Coast beaches will offer you a wonderful vacation. If you are looking for a quieter holiday go to Playas de Piriápolis or Playas de José Ignacio. For a family holiday, Playa Solanas and Playas de La Barra would be the better places to stay. All beaches offer off-shore sports, good hotels and restaurants. Punta del Este is the perfect holiday destination where you can always find some promotional hotel deals, are some special vacation packages.

If you are looking for a cultural detour you must visit Colonia del Sacramento (World Heritage site). If you want to explore some of nature’s beauty you should visit Santa Teresa or San Miguel National Park. You can also go to the River Plate area and visit Parque Anchorena.
