A destination is a region you visit as a single trip: it can bring together several cities or be a large city with everything it offers. Each destination has the tours, the itineraries, the best time to go month by month and how to get there.
The guide currently has 6 destinations, with 11 cities in 6 departments.
Today's highlights
A destination is more than a city: it's everything you can experience there.
City founded by the Portuguese in 1680 opposite Buenos Aires, with a historic district that is a World Heritage Site, and Carmelo, land of wineries and a 1912 swing bridge.
Salto, on the bank of the rio Uruguai opposite Concordia, is the gateway to the Daymán and Arapey hot springs, fed by thermal water from the Aquífero Guarani, and to the bi-national Salto Grande dam.
Peninsula of beaches at the meeting of the Rio da Prata and the Atlantic, with Casapueblo, José Ignacio and Piriápolis less than an hour away by road.
The main wine region of Uruguay, land of Tannat, about 45 km from Montevidéu: family-run wineries with guided visits and the town where the national flag was born.
The capital of Uruguay on the Río de la Plata: Ciudad Vieja, Teatro Solís, the parrillas of Mercado del Puerto and 22 km of Rambla for walking.
