When Do You Want To Go?
In a continent as vast as South America it might be easy to forget little countries such as Uruguay. But not visiting Uruguay means missing out on tons of unrivalled South American beauty. Contrary to its neighbour, Uruguay's beach lined coast is fantastic, making it the perfect addition to any Argentina trip. Still, the sunny, sandy, beaches are not all Uruguay has to offer, as the gastronomy for instances is equally strong, featuring lots of wonderful wineries that will transport your palate to a blissful state. The historic Colonia del Sacramento will take back on a picturesque time travel, and the tango rhythms, we guarantee you, can be felt everywhere.
You might already know that this is a little country that lies between Brazil and Argentina, but do you know exactly what you can find there? Many travellers avoid Uruguay out of a misconception that there isn't much to visit there, truth is, there is.
In Montevideo, the capital, you can eat asado and afterwards burn some calories at one of the various milongas (the local name for a tango venue), as Montevideo has been granted a UNESCO title of 'intangible cultural heritage' for its rich tango roots. You can drink some Tannat wine while learning more about the Italian, Spanish and French settlers who introduced the wine culture here. You can – and should – visit the lovely city of Colonia del Sacramento, one of the top tourist attractions nowadays, which was founded back in 1860 by Portuguese colonisers and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. When you feel like you have enough of culture and history, and all you want to do is lie down under the sun, Uruguay also offers great seaside option such as; the glamorous Jose Ignacio filled with secret beaches and private islands, or the sporty Punta del Diablo. These are both great for relaxation and outdoor related activities such as surfing or hiking. You can also visit Cabo Polonio, the wildest spot in the country and a protected area since 2009, or, acquire some gaucho skills in a 'estancia' where you will be able to ride horses, learn some cattle herding, or simply, enjoy the pleasures of simple life.
