TOP ATTRACTIONS
Montevideo
Uruguay’s vibrant capital seamlessly blends historic charm with a contemporary arts scene. Stroll through its historic barrios, indulge in the local gastronomy at Mercado del Puerto, or explore its eclectic art galleries. Montevideo’s relaxed pace and oceanfront promenades make it an elegant yet laid-back city escape.
Punta del Este
Known as the Ibiza of South America, Punta del Este is Uruguay’s most exclusive beach destination, drawing an international crowd of celebrities, jet-setters, and luxury travellers. By day, lounge on golden sands at Playa Brava and Playa Mansa; by night, revel in its pulsating nightlife, Michelin-starred restaurants, and glamorous beach clubs. Beyond the glitz, Punta del Este also boasts sophisticated art galleries, including the iconic Casapueblo, a stunning clifftop retreat built by artist Carlos Páez Vilaró.
Colonia del Sacramento
Step back in time in Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage site where cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and antique cars evoke a bygone era. This picturesque town, just a short ferry ride from Buenos Aires, is perfect for leisurely strolls, boutique shopping, and riverside dining with spectacular sunsets.
Carmelo
A hidden gem for wine enthusiasts and tranquillity seekers, Carmelo is home to boutique wineries, scenic river views, and charming countryside retreats. Indulge in private vineyard tastings, take a sunset cruise on the Río de la Plata, or simply unwind at a luxurious estancia surrounded by vineyards.
Uruguayan Pampas
For those craving an authentic rural experience, the Uruguayan Pampas offers an escape into gaucho culture. Stay at a traditional estancia, ride horseback through vast open plains, and immerse yourself in the country’s deep-rooted ranching heritage.
ACTIVITIES
Beach Escapes
From the high-energy glamour of Punta del Este to the bohemian allure of José Ignacio, Uruguay’s coastline is a paradise for sun-seekers and surfers alike.

WHEN TO VISIT
Uruguay’s temperate climate makes it a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during the summer months of December to March, when the beaches and resorts are at their best.
