Uruguay, 10 Days · Tailor-made by car
Route from the picturesque Colonia to the ever-vibrant Punta del Este
Heavenly beaches, oodles of fun, a fascinating culture and outstanding cuisine in one of Uruguay's most beautiful destinations
Nestled between Brazil and Argentina is this pocket-sized country, which boasts endless white beaches reminiscent of the Mediterranean. An enchanting and laid-back country that will captivate you with its welcoming people and stunning nature. Wander through the old town of Montevideo, stroll along the city's lively boulevards and discover places such as the Mercado del Puerto, the Metropolitan Cathedral or the iconic Palacio Salvo. Admire the art found on the streets and in the plazas of this dynamic capital city, where music is always omnipresent as well. Discover the picturesque Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the scene of historical disputes between Spain and Portugal. Leisurely stroll through the colonial-style old town and fall in love with its winding cobbled streets and its famous Calle de los Suspiros (Street of Sighs). Visit Nueva Helvecia, a little piece of Switzerland transported to the southern hemisphere, and explore Punta del Este, one of the most attractive destinations in the whole of South America. Lounge on its famous beaches, stroll around its modern marinas and elegant residential neighbourhoods, and marvel at the spectacular sunsets over the ocean.
