Destination Overview

Uruguay

Uruguay has one of the most attractive coastlines in the continent. Even Montevideo, the capital, is noted for its long beaches, and virtually all the country’s principal tourist destinations are on the coast. Besides the beach, the rural side of Uruguayan life offers a visit to an estancia (ranch) where you can sample the country’s famous beef and fine wine or take up an adventure activity such as horseback riding.

Top Highlights

Beaches

From off-grid hippie enclaves to chic celebrity hangouts to riotous party towns, there’s a beach in Uruguay for everyone. Uruguay’s largely unspoilt 660km coastline is an impressive stretch of sand and with its huge selection of beach towns full of something for every visitor, Uruguay ranks as a strong contender for the best beach destination in South America.

Horses

The ever-changing landscape and endless nature reserves in Uruguay make this a unique destination for horse riding. Nestled so close to Argentina, Uruguay is a land of pampas where the gaucho is king and equestrian traditions date back to the colonial Spanish. Trail ride across estancia lands and experience beach rides along the coastline on the back of local Criollo horses.

Food & Wine

The vibrant mix of cultures, tastes and flavours makes Uruguay a wonderful gastronomy destination and the perfect place to enjoy food and wine. Uruguay is known throughout the world for its high-quality tasteful beef and the Uruguayan countryside boasts many eateries and scenic vineyards where visitors can indulge in wine tastings, along with perfectly paired meats and cheeses.
