URUGUAY TRAVEL ADVICE
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT
Uruguay has a mild climate year-round, making it a great destination almost any time. Summer (December-February) is peak season, warm, sunny, and perfect for the beaches. Spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds, ideal for exploring Montevideo and the wine country around Carmelo. Winters are mild but cooler and quieter, a great time for a more local experience!
TRANSPORT
Getting around Uruguay is straightforward and relaxed, much like the country itself! Long-distance buses connect Montevideo with other towns and are comfortable and reliable. Ferries connect Uruguay with Buenos Aires across the Río de la Plata, a popular and scenic route. On our tours, all transport between destinations is fully arranged for you!
Uruguay FAQs
What's the weather like in Uruguay?
Uruguay has a mild, temperate climate across the whole country, so it doesn't vary as much as some of its neighbours! Summers (December-February) are warm and great for the beaches, while winters are cool and mild rather than cold.
Is there a tipping culture in Uruguay?
We'd recommend tipping around 10% of the bill at restaurants and bars when you have had great service. This isn't essential but it is a nice gesture. Your guide will be able to advise you more on tipping customs when you are exploring the country.
Are there ATMs in Uruguay?
ATMs are usually easy to find in cities and towns across Uruguay. We would recommend bringing cash with you in case you cannot access an ATM in more rural areas. We'd recommend getting a travel card before you leave for your trip (Monzo and Revolut are great options.) Your Tru Leader will be able to help you find the best ATMs with the lowest charges.
Is the tap water in Uruguay safe to drink?
Yes, tap water in Uruguay is generally safe to drink in most areas, but if you ever feel unsure, sticking to bottled or filtered water is always a safe bet.
Is Uruguay safe to visit?
Yes! Uruguay is considered one of the safest countries in South America, it is still important to be aware of petty crimes and tourist scams in busier areas. Your Tru Leader will be on hand for any questions you might have on safety whilst in Uruguay!
What language is spoken in Uruguay?
Spanish is the language most commonly spoken in Uruguay.
