Uruguay is one of the smallest Spanish speaking countries in South America and sits between Brazil and Argentina. Uruguay is often overlooked by visitors to South America. Those that do explore tend to stick to the gringo trail of the Atlantic Coast. While Uruguay surely has some fabulous beaches, there’s far more to it than sand and surf.
Explore Uruguay with us through our guides and inspire your own Uruguayan trip.
