Visited Uruguay for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $101/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.
AMA.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.
