Tailor-made holidays to Uruguay

The tiny country of Uruguay lies sandwiched between its two giant neighbours, Argentina and Brazil.

A wide range of experiences await the visitor – savour the architectural delights and bustling port market of its capital Montevideo, head for the white sandy beaches and glittery nightlife of the resort of Punta del Este, or take a step along the coast and back in time to the sleepy town of Colonia del Sacramento which has a UNESCO-protected colonial heart.

Carmelo lies opposite the Parana Delta where the Rio Uruguay becomes the Rio de la Plata. It is a pleasant little town with a tree lined avenue leading to the first swing bridge ever built in Uruguay.

José Ignacio is a lovely little fishing town 40km east of Punta del Este, and is quiet and peaceful for most of the year. However, during the summer months (December to March) this little town comes alive. People come from far afield to throw parties, enjoy carnival and see concerts in the lighthouse.
