Your Uruguay Holiday Itinerary

  • Day 1: Catch the ferry from Buenos Aires to the charming city of Colonia del Sacramento. Wander through age-old plazas and cobblestone lanes. Be sure to check out La Calle de los Suspiros and the famed old town, Barrio Historico. Grab a bite to eat and catch a sunset at Colonia del Sacramento Lighthouse.

  • Day 2-4: Rent a car and head to the cosmopolitan capital, Montevideo. From a walk along the Rambla to fascinating historical attractions, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Explore the Old Town starting at Plaza Independencia, catch a show at Teatro Solís and hit the beach on a hot day.

  • Day 5-7: Get your fill of surf, sand and sun at Punta del Este. This is the place to go for nightlife in Uruguay, with the clubs of nearby La Barra being the biggest attraction. When you’re ready for a break from the beach, explore the Hand of Punta del Este and Casapueblo — a “living sculpture” hotel that’s one of Uruguay's most famous sights.
