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
- Transport tips
I was there last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Uruguay — overrated or just right?

Different experience for me. Prices were lower when I went.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
