Between Argentina and Brazil, a small country with vast spaces
Uruguay unfolds its lush pampas and Atlantic beaches in a rare intimacy in South America. Here, gauchos perpetuate their traditions in family estancias, while Montevideo cultivates a European elegance tinged with nostalgia. Along the coast, fishing villages alternate with beach resorts where Art Deco architecture dialogues with wild dunes.
A tailor-made journey reveals this discreet destination where the art of living is savored without haste, between shared asado at sunset and galloping through endless prairies.
What to absolutely see in Uruguay?
Montevideo charms with its colonial center and lively markets, while Colonia del Sacramento reveals its cobbled streets listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Atlantic coast unveils Punta del Este and its contrasting beaches, Cabo Polonio and its shifting dunes populated by sea lions, or Punta del Diablo for its bohemian atmosphere. The inland areas invite you to discover traditional estancias where cattle raising still sets the rhythm of daily life.
What type of trip should you choose?
A stay of 8 to 12 days allows you to alternate between cultural capital and rural discovery. Uruguay suits travelers seeking an authentic destination away from crowds, accessible year-round with a preference for the Southern Hemisphere summer. Average budget of €2,200 to €3,000 per person for a tailor-made trip including charming estancias and gastronomic experiences.

« We spent 3 weeks in this stunning country that we absolutely loved. Not far from Carmelo, there's the Rio Negro region which is gorgeous. Since you don't have a car, it's better to stick to the coast to avoid changing buses and long distances... »
