LUXURY URUGUAY HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

An exciting self-drive holiday taking you from the spirited city of Montevideo with its splendid historic quarter, all the way to the charming coastal town of Jose Ignacio.

Before setting off in your vehicle you’ll first explore the historic and alluring town of Colonia. Best known for its cobbled, World Heritage-listed old town, a walking tour will reveal just how much of the old Portuguese and Spanish architecture has been wonderfully preserved.

You’ll then pick up your hire car and drive to Montevideo where you’ll be taken on a tour of the old city and its museums and monuments. Back on the road, you’ll stop at the olive plantations of “Lote 8†before continuing east to the laidback resort town of Jose Ignacio. Just a short drive from lively Punta del Este, you’ll enjoy direct access to the beautiful sandy beach.

DAY 1-2

COLONIA

You will be met at the airport and driven two hours to your hotel in Colonia del Sacramento.

You will find yourself ideally situated in the town’s historic quarter, just steps from the old lighthouse. Dating back to 1680 when it was founded by the Portuguese, the old town has since been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its quaint cobbled streets, colourful colonial buildings, bars and restaurants. Enjoy a walking tour in the afternoon, stopping by the old buildings, forts and Spanish and Portuguese museums.

MONTEVIDEO

Today, after breakfast, you will be given the keys to your hire car and make the drive to Montevideo. Divided between the old city, new city and open city, Montevideo is an intriguing yet modern metropolis framed entirely by a white sanded beach.

A guided walking tour will introduce you to the old city – dating back to colonial times – where you will discover the famous Port Market, Carnival Museum, Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, Solis Theatre and renowned Torres Garcia Art Museum. You’ll see the Cathedral and Cabildo in Constitution Square, before ending at the gates of the old city where the statue of national hero “Jose Gervasio Artigas†is located next to his mausoleum.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from 91ºÚÁÏÍø was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
