Uruguay
A Beach for Every Taste
Beachside bliss wears many faces on Uruguay's Atlantic coast: chasing the perfect surf
break at La Pedrera, getting friendly with sea lions at Cabo Polonio or scanning the sands
for international celebrities at Punta del Este.
Wide Open Skies
Uruguay's gaucho soul lies in its vast interior landscapes. For a taste of traditional ranch
life, spend a few nights on an
estancia
, riding horseback into an endless horizon by day
and savoring the warmth of the fire and the brilliance of the stars by night.
Carnivore Paradise
Something's always grilling in Uruguay. The classic
parrillada
(mixed grill) of steak,
pork chops, chorizo and
morcilla
(blood sausage) is enough to make any carnivore
swoon, especially when accompanied by a glass of tannat from one of the country's up-
and-coming wineries.
