about uruguay

Visit Uruguay

Uruguay is a country that, thanks to its excellent roads and short distances, can be easily explored. Among its main destinations are Montevideo, the country’s capital and one of the cities with the best quality of life in all of Latin America; Punta del Este, a world-renowned resort city known for its beautiful beaches; and Colonia del Sacramento, whose historic quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The international quality of our food production is complemented by a wide range of restaurants. Uruguayan beef and the traditional ‘parrilla’ (grill) are some of the most prominent dishes in our cuisine. The best pairing to accompany them is our wines, especially Tannat.

The most popular sport is football, a passion that even has its own museum, located in the iconic Estadio Centenario, the venue where the first FIFA World Cup was played and declared a Monument of World Football.
