Has anyone been to Uruguay recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
