First settled by the Spanish and Portuguese as a mercantile and military base, Montevideo soon came to be Río de la Plata's main port. Now known for its high quality of life, as well as its rich cultural heritage, Montevideo is a "must-see" for travelers. Colonia falls into this same category. Historic and well preserved, you are certain to lose yourself on its stone-paved streets. Your trip will end at San Pedro de Timote, Uruguay's most prestigious estancia.

Tour three exceptional and distinct Uruguayan highlights including Montevideo, Cabo Polonia, and Punta del Este. Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, is now home to about half of the population. Montevideo is also the location of cutting-edge art galleries, vast parks, and "asados", traditional barbeques. Cabo Polonia is a small and charming fishing village, and our final stop, Punta del Este, is a well known seaside-resort town, a place to see and be seen.

This tour is perfect for adventurers looking to explore South America's coast. This matchless Uruguay Highlight Tour is tailor-made for horseback riders. You will begin with a full-day tour of Montevideo, Uruguay's capital and largest city. On your second day you will set off for Chuy and spend the rest of your trip horseback riding along the coast. During your ride you will be staying at working estancias that seem to be straight out of traditional gaucho ballads.

This tour will bring you to many exquisite regions in Uruguay. You will visit Montevideo, Uruguay's capital and largest city; Cabo Polonia, a quiet fishing village with one of the world's largest sea lion reserves; Colonia, a small colonial city on the banks of Río de la Plata; and Punta del Este, an upscale seaside-resort town that's come to be known as the St.-Tropez of Uruguay, and with good reason.
