Uruguay Luxury Vacations
The essence of Uruguay - stunning coastlines and verdant countrysides
Montevideo | Punta del Este | Jose Ignacio
A small country of just under 3.5 million people, Uruguay offers the charming combination of swathes of green countryside dotted with estates and an untouched coastline of white sand beaches. Culturally, Uruguay has a very strong European influence with colonial history from both the Portuguese and the Spanish, and over 80% of the current population claims some European descent. Away from the noise and clamor of Punta del Este lies Jose Ignacio, a sophisticated and relaxed beach town, perfect for those looking for more of a low-key luxury experience. Uruguay offers the distinguished traveler a fantastic array of experiences, from gastronomical delights to outdoor adventures, and is without a doubt one of South America's lesser-traveled gems to discover.
