Signature Uruguay Traveller Reviews

We went to Buenos Aires in Argentina for about a week and then crossed into Uruguay by Hydrofoil. We spent and night in Colonia and then went to the wine district in Carmelo for a few days before going to Monevideo for a couple of nights and finished our holiday in the wonderful hotel of VikPlaya in Jose Ignacio.

Journey Latin America organised our trip with superb efficiency from beginning to end. They listened to my requirements balancing cost with time and came up with a fabulous itinerary which didn't involve any internal or country to country flights, which was one of my main criterion.

It was a return to a country where I spent part of my childhood. We travelled to Montevideo, east to two estancias, and then back west to a wine lodge and the touristy old town of Colonia del Sacramento. The estancias and the wilder scenic east coast were the highlights of the trip. The people were invariably friendly and welcoming and the food and wine was good. It was a pleasure to drive on open roads untroubled by much traffic. I hope to return to discover the interior and to enjoy those east coast beaches and country again

We were looked after by Mary Ann Nelson who was efficient, attentive, experienced and full of good ideas as to what we might do. We will definitely use Journey Latin America again
