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?

Is there a tipping culture 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.

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.
