News of Uruguay

For those that have driven the main road along the south coast of Uruguay, how is the ride? Is it all flat land? Boring? Beautiful? What kind of landscape? Does it change as you go further east or mostly the same the whole way?



Can you see the water from the highway? Any good stopping points along the way that I should see? What is the speed limit in MPH? Are there plenty of gas ...

Hi

Hello to All,

I'm nick, from Santa Monica, and I'm trying to party in Punta. I have a place the 28-30 but looking to rent a spot if I get the right amount of people. I'm flying in to Buenos Aires the 25th, then 28th I arrive in Punta. If anyone who's anyone who's interested, shoot me a msg.

If youre interested in having a look at Colonia on your way from Buenos Aires to Montevideo its quite straightforward. I couldnt find all the details in one place, so heres our experience.

It is an option for a city tour with cultural content, the price is resonable due distance an what a taxi could charge you for a ride from La Barra ...

Did you already travel? I guess no one in this forum bothered to answer.



I'll try to help if you haven't visited yet.

I held off responding, thinking someone who lives in Jose Ignacio might respond. I live in Punta del Este, but go to Jose Ignacio several times per month and know the area very well. If you're in a hotel, it will have wireless Internet. If you're renting a home, it should, too. This area is well built-out for Internet. There are no "cafes" in Jose Ignacio, but the restaurant that dominates the area, La Huella, ...

Just got back from Punta Del Este and I liked that the hotels were cheaper and not so crowded just before what I hear the Madness starts. Great weather, a little windy sometimes. Beaches are like California and water is cold in Dec. Our hotel was the Pennisula at $65 US per night. Simple room, pool did not have water yet and right on the main street walk to everything. I was in Santiago and ...
