Uruguay
Uruguay is the second smallest country in South America. Nestled between two giants, Brazil and Argentina, it’s often overlooked as a destination, but can make a very pleasant stop on a tour of southern South America. Its capital, Montevideo, features colonial architecture, lively plazas, and a walkway along the Atlantic waterfront, while much of the ocean coastline is lined with pretty beaches. The country is safe, progressive, and economically advanced.

The logistics of the trip were challenging, I.e., traveling between countries, security, etc. Back-to-back visits at wineries did not make a lot of sense. Find something else of interest on one of those two days.

Went as planned which we were very grateful for. The only drama was the tight scheduling of some of our flights and having to run to get to next gate on time. Latam airline did very well and all our luggage arrived on time . The cruise on OceanEndeavour was truly amazing; the ice, the wildlife and the professional enthusiastic crew made our experience very memorable. Thanks Chimu
