This is the Uruguay chapter from Lonely Planet’s South America on a Shoestring guidebook.
Uruguay is a backpacker’s dream. Travelers come for the wild, surf-pounded beaches, for celeb-spotting at Punta and the history-soaked smugglers’ port of Colonia. They stay for the people – warm, open and sincere folk who have constructed one of South America’s most progressive societies.
Coverage includes: Understand Uruguay, Uruguay Today, History, Culture, Arts, Food & Drink, Sports, Environment, Survivial Guide, Directory A–Z, Getting There & Away, Getting Around, Montevideo, Western Uruguay, Colonia del Sacramento, Carmelo, Fray Bentos, Mercedes, Paysandú, Salto, Tacuarembó & around, Eastern Uruguay, Piriápolis & around, Maldonado, Punta Ballena, Punta del Este, Sierra de Rocha, La Paloma, Punta del Diablo, Parque Nacional Santa Teresa and Chuy & around.
