El SilencioThis place isn’t in the Lonely Planet but I really want to recommend it to everyone because we had such an amazing time here but at the same time it was because it wasn’t touristy that we enjoyed it so Posted by downbhoy in The long way round | Mar 7, 2011
Colonia, UruguayOn line there are hardly any hostels to stay at especially at the weekends because a lot of Argentines go to Uruguay for the weekend. We started to panic a bit but hedged our bets on a hostel that Posted by downbhoy in The long way round | Mar 7, 2011
UruguayFebruary 24th, way too early in the morning: late for our ferry to Colonia, Uruguay with a madman taxi driver at the wheel. He's one of those guys that drives so crazy, weaving in and out of traffic, that Posted by Adam_Heidi in Always Safe, Always On Time | Mar 6, 2011
More Aerial Photography over UruguayPUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay (Feb. 4, 2011) -- The coast of Uruguay is an ideal setting for aerial photographs. I took the opportunity to fly with a friend in a Schweizer helicopter over the resort town and surroundings. Posted by AC Frieden in The Frieden Trails | Mar 1, 2011
Heading to the end...The capital of Uruguay is another very nice city with fantastic food. However, I spent only two nights and one full day there. But by exploring the city with a bicycle I saw many places and don’t think I missed Posted by Perch in A PERCH ON THE ROAD | Feb 25, 2011
A trip to UruguayOn Saturday, the Swedish girl and I got a ferry to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. It is only a 50-minute ferry ride to get there, so we thought we might as well see another country. Colonia is a very Posted by sarahm_lux in A Luxembourger with a backpack | Feb 17, 2011
From Punta del Diablo to Tacuarembo in one dayAs we had travelled along the coast via Montevideo so far, we decided we were up for a challenge and would take the route inland to work our way back to the Argentinian border.

Getting into the sabbatical lifeOur cabana in Punta del Diablo proved to be very homely and we settled in in such way that we barely wanted to move from it. Dave barbecued twice and we enjoyed walking about the village and the beach (one Posted by barbla in Barbla and Dave's Carnet de Voyage | Feb 8, 2011
Mystified by Punta del EsteWe arrived in Punta del Este towards the end of the day without the address of where we were booked. There is downtown Punta, a small city of mainly high rises some of which have fortunately benefited from good architects, Posted by barbla in Barbla and Dave's Carnet de Voyage | Feb 5, 2011
First impressions of Punta del Diablo So they let us off the bus, 3km after the camp-site where we wanted to stop, in the dusty centre of town. There's a hippy spinning his flags around like it's Posted by lonsdale77 in Barbla and Dave's Carnet de Voyage | Feb 1, 2011
Three days in MontevideoHolà everyone, we're sorry for the slight delay, we are currently in a place where internet is rather a challenge. That said, we've been writing lots so keep on checking the blog and give us your comments... To start with, Posted by barbla in Barbla and Dave's Carnet de Voyage | Feb 1, 2011
An unexpected eventAcross the Rio de la Plata in BA, they told us Colonia del Sacramento was a quaint town and it wouldn't take much more than a day to visit. Some even wondered what we were going to do there until Posted by barbla in Barbla and Dave's Carnet de Voyage | Jan 28, 2011
Beloved Uruguay! (E)Merry Christmas People!!! Although it is not accurate to say that Jesus was born on December 25th, this is the time of the year when we remember the arrival of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to this world. So, let's Posted by Fiorela in Two Vagabonds at Large | Dec 26, 2010
Uruguay: Satiated with Sangria===We docked in Montevideo but had already decided we all wanted to go to Punta Del Este, a swanky beach town about 2 hrs away. It was the hottest day any of us had experienced since we left Posted by Tony.Ruby in Ruby and Tony - Around the World | Dec 7, 2010

South America - Week 5Don’t follow the lonely planet recommendations. That would be our recommendation for Uruguay. The journey between Tacuarembo and the coast was described as the best “off the beaten paths” journey so, although not the quickest way to get to where Posted by lebrunfo in The travelling frogs | Nov 13, 2010
Another Day, Another CountryThis morning saw us take a walk down to the docks to take the first ferry for the journey over to Uruguay. This saw us have the unique experience of walking through derelict building that could have easily been a Posted by rhinoc in Trav vs. South America | Nov 12, 2010
South America - Week 4We were originally planning to get on a 2 days boat trip down the rio Paraguay from the Brazil-Paraguay border to the town of Conception in Paraguay but all the information we could find was for the reverse journey so, Posted by lebrunfo in The travelling frogs | Nov 7, 2010
Going home to MontevideoThe 2-hour flight from Rio to Montevideo already set the mood. For this leg of the trip there would be no 23-hour bus rides, no long immigration lines, no sketchy walks to hostels... no hostels at all in fact. Posted by pack_it_in in The Global Footprint | Nov 1, 2010
Charming Colonia del Sacramento - Uruguay For a change we decided to take a ferry to Uruguay today. We took a taxi well in advance and thought we´d escape the hectic city for a day.
