Tell us three must-do things in Uruguay.
Taste the Uruguayan cuisine and wines. Many of our worldwide chefs have made our gastronomy one of our major attractions. Once you are in Uruguay, a stroll through our Rambla in Montevideo is a must. This is a coastline of 42 kilometers where you will find ‘splendorous’ beaches and a walking path. It is incredible, with mesmerising beauty and the warmth of the Uruguayan people. The weather conditions make it more wonderful to enjoy. Thirdly, feel our Culture. Tango, as the music of our country plays a vital role. It was brought by the immigrants. Candombe, the Afro-descendant music came from Africa. Hundreds of writers, painters, poets and sculptures show the beauty of the Spanish architecture displayed in the Western Hemisphere.
