Visited Uruguay for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $66/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
