Traveling to Uruguay - Any Advice?

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

We are thinking of traveling to Uruguay for Christmas this year, and wondered if anyone had done this.

Ideally we are looking to rent a small bungalow, preferably close to the coast, on a working farm or something similar.

We have decided to drive to Miami, and catch a direct flight to Montevideo, and then we'll rent a car and do our best to live like locals.  I've looked at VRBO for rentals, and there are some incredible deals for as low as $99 a night, which is fabulous.

If anyone has done anything similar in another country, please share: I'm sure there are some tips you can share.

 

Thanks!

Carol, I don't know anything about it but you will get lots of help from the community here. It sounds like a lovely trip and living like the locals would be my choice too.

Sounds like an off the beaten path type of place.  I have barely been out of the country, so I can't help.

Hi Carol, I have traveled abroad and was told to not leave anything in the room while we were away from it.  They had maid service, as we were renting a cottage.  They were known to pray on out of towners and tourists.  I don't know about where you are going, but I hope you enjoy it without incident.  We didn't have any problems, and enjoyed our vacation.
