Uruguay Cities Travel Information |
|
|
Punta del Este
It
is South America’s most sophisticated and renowned resort, which
combines everything within its offer: quiet and rough beaches, sands
full of people and places so empty it is possible to feel you own them.
Hot temperatures during the day and refreshing breezes at night. The
opportunity to admire the stars and the moon hearing the waves’
whispers, or to wildly go partying in a disco night.

Piriápolis
It
is cozy and small, with surrounding hills that almost enter the sea and
constitute its unmistakable trademark, just as its promenade, so
reminiscent of the European resorts.

Oceanic Coast
Rocha
Its oceanic coasts, actually the entire department, are the places in
which nature reveals itself in the liveliest and most exuberant way,
with lagoons and swamps full of flora and fauna. Hundreds of kilometers
of unexplored beaches and dream places like Punta del Diablo, Cabo
Polonia, Valizas or La Barra del Chuy, or first quality resorts such as
La Paloma, La Pedrera and La Coronilla.

La Costa de Oro
Instead
of hills, you find trees. But is maintains the same white sands
surrounded by forests in which the sun shines through the pine and
eucalyptus trees, just a few kilometers from Montevideo.

Other Coasts
In
Uruguay there are a great variety of beaches and resorts for those who
seek a peaceful holiday. They are not very crowded and therefore ideal
for families who wish to do sports and above all rest. It could be
said, that this menu has a mixture of delicacies to offer, each with
the native spice of the region where it is produced.In the Río Uruguay
and in the Río Negro, you can fish from the sandy banks or take a
rowing boat out into their calm waters.

Punta del Diablo
Punta
del Diablo constitutes an exceptional territorial resource. It has one
of the few points that from certain height dominate the ocean,
penetrating in it, and beaches apt for baths, with near sand dunes and
a lively urban area. It is also close to other territorial resources
now considered as protected.

White Sands
One
third of the tourists arrive in the country through Montevideo, the
capital of Uruguay. 42% of the country's population lives in
Montevideo, which offers numerous day and night cultural activities,
and has a wide range of restaurants and hotels. This estuary of the
River Plate also offers 22 kilometres of white, sandy beaches.

Water Sports
Uruguay
caters for all tastes. Beaches with and without waves. Salt and fresh
waters. Golden sands, which can be fine or coarse. Lonely or crowded
beaches, with vegetation or completely desert-like. The River Plate,
together with the Atlantic Ocean have 650 kilometres of enjoyable
coasts to offer. And if we add to this the lakes, streams and rivers,
the result is a diverse menu, which contemplates all tastes.
