Why visit? Wedged between the major tourist magnets of Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay might not be the most obvious destination springing to mind when planning a trip to South America, however, if you want to explore the road less travelled, you should not miss out on exploring this fascinating offbeat gem as part of your South America tour.

Uruguay lies only a one hour fast ferry ride from Buenos Aires making the latter the perfect starting point for any Uruguay or multi-country tour.

Once off the ferry, start your Uruguay tour in the UNESCO World Heritage listed seaside town of Colonia, one of Uruguay’s oldest and most picturesque towns famed for its cobble-stoned streets lined with beautiful colonial buildings.

Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay, offers the perfect combination of charm, culture and style while a short trip to Punta del Este, the “Monaco of South America” will impress with its glamour, lively nightlife and its miles of beautiful beaches and natural attractions.

From cosmopolitan city life to coastal surf towns or traditional agricultural centres, a Uruguay tour holds everything you need and more for the perfect South American getaway.
