Uruguay is not a big country. If you are planning a 3 to 4 days tour, Colonia del Sacramento, Montevideo and Punta del Este will show you most of the highlights. Our tours will also take you to the UNESCO heritage sites in Colonia and Montevideo, like the Plaza Independencia and the Solis Theater. In Punta del Este, Casapueblo is a fantastic place to view the epic sunset view over the sea.

If you have more traveling days, we will take you to enjoy the relaxing time in the traditional estancias and coastal towns like Jose Ignacio and La Paloma. In the traditional estancias, you will enjoy the most fresh and natural foods, and experience biking, horseback riding or the stand-up paddling. You could also visit some of the best vineyards and wineries and try their products.
