Description

This fully updated fourth edition of Bradt's Uruguay is the definitive guide to a country that's small but full of character. The guide provides in-depth coverage of the capital Montevideo, including its historic Old City, which is undergoing a resurgence, as well as the UNESCO-listed coastal city of Colonia del Sacramento and the popular beach town of Punta del Este.

For active travellers, the guide offers advice on exploring the countryside, including the opportunity to ride on cattle ranches and play polo, as well as visiting the western wetlands and Cabo Polonio to spot wildlife and birds. The guide also delves into the country's music, dance, food, and wine scene, as well as its Afro-Uruguayan heritage, which is celebrated during the world-famous Carnaval season.

From visiting traditional estancias like La Sirena to exploring the history of Fray Bentos and its former meat-packing plant, to relaxing in the hot baths of Termas de Daymán, Uruguay caters to all tastes and interests. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the country, its culture, and its people, making it an essential companion for anyone planning a trip to this vibrant South American nation.
