hole country

by tadams1

i spent 3 months in uruguay and traveled to all 19 departments in the country, i can honestly say that the people there are unbelievably friendly and i didnt have any problems the entire time i was there however it pays to be careful and there are a few things to watch out for. Firstly i walked around the town at night all the time but was in a large group it pays to be careful when walking around the old city in Montevideo at night, i also took hundreds of busses and you can occationally have problems with beggers but nothing too bad (Taxi drivers are freindly but make sure you know the route before getting in the cab to ensure no detours) when in the interior estancia farms are worth visiting however if possible ask for rocomandations from people in the no before booking any. If traveling to cabo palonia on the coast beware fish as it gave me awful food poisoning although aparently...

Seasonal Travel-- not dangerous

by jem126

NOT A DANGER, JUST A HELPFUL HINT:I was in Uruguay during the off-season, in fact we were there at the tail end of their winter. The major tourist season is in the summer (January, remember we're in the southern hemisphere now). I had a wonderful time there in September, the weather was outstanding, but the cities were a little quiet-- which could be a good or bad thing. Like in any tourist destination, lots of businesses are closed in the off-season so you might get to do more stuff in January, but everything will be more crowded and more expensive too.

Estancia de turismo : comment

by gandara

I hope someone from the office of the Ministry of Turism will read these lines one day.Among the estancias with the label "estancia de turismo", some are excellent, some are average, some are bad.The people we met are all, with no exception, very friendly, but some have no idea of what they do for their country.And it is not a matter of money to arrange the room with no furniture in front of a frame on the wall, to add in the decor some of the old tools, old ropes, or old photos.To put a small basket instead of an ugly huge plastic rubbish socket in the bathroom .To fix an old bed in order to avoid the funny noises.Not a matter of money again to serve for breakfast good home made jams, even if they come from another estancia.To put a cotton table cloth instead of a plastic one."Uruguay natural"? why not serving in each and every estancia herbal tea, dry and narural instead of teabags of...

Estancia de turismo : careful

by gandara

Be sure of what you are looking for when you book an estancia de turismo.Do you want : horse riding? nature? space? sharing country life ? talking to owners? sleeping? resting? reading? Bird watching? swimming pool? Make sure you know exactly what you expect before going. After 200 km of good road, 30 km of bad road, 15 km of path, 10 km of another path with 8 gates to open and close, it is too late.Even with the label "estancia de turismo" you get the best and the worst.Don't trust the photos.Check before going with the owner or the travel agency : private bathroom? next to your room or at the back of another building? modern? with water? hot and cold? clean? double bed? Size of the room? Is there a cook? What sort a menu? breakfast : bread and can jam, lunch : a bowl of gnocchis (2 if you want) and rice pudding, tea : cake, dinner : lentils. No fruit, no salad this day! True story.Do...

Uruguay might be the safest...

by salime

Uruguay might be the safest place in the world. Even the worst neighborhood looks more like Mr. Roger's neighborhood than South-Central. Still, be safe. Don't carry a lot ofmoney in your pocket if you go to carnaval or any event with big crowds. The streets can be dangerous; be careful when crossing. Pedestrians are not respected. 2
