Who writes and edits these guides
Love Uruguay's guides are written, edited and maintained by The Love Uruguay editorial team. Compiled and maintained by the Love Uruguay editorial team from official tourism sources, operator information and public data. Guides are reviewed and updated regularly. We don't accept payment for inclusion.
Each page carries a visible byline and a last-updated date, so you always know who stands behind the advice and when it was last checked.
How we research and fact-check
We build each guide from official tourism sources, operator information and public data — cross-checked against primary and official sources wherever possible. The small practical details — a ferry operator's crossing time, a festival's usual timing, which departments an itinerary touches — are drawn from published sources rather than guessed. For history, geography and anything verifiable, we prefer evergreen framing over numbers that drift.
We separate the durable from the perishable. The shape of the Río de la Plata coastline, Colonia's colonial history, the story of Tannat's arrival in Uruguay — these are stable, so we state them plainly. Visa rules, ferry schedules and fares, festival dates such as Carnival and Semana Criolla, and which estancias or wineries are currently operating all change with the season and the year, so we flag them to verify on the day and point you to the official source. Where a figure is genuinely contested or unofficial — the Rambla's length claim, the chivito's origin story, Casapueblo's build time — we phrase it as a widely repeated claim, not a settled fact.
Independence and corrections
Recommendations are editorial. We accept no payment for inclusion and earn no commission on the ferries, hotels, restaurants, estancias or wineries we mention; there are no affiliate links here, and if that ever changes we will say so plainly on the page.
We review the guides and re-check seasonal details regularly against their official sources, and re-date pages when we revise them. If you spot an error — a closed estancia, a changed ferry operator, a visa rule that's shifted — tell us and we'll fix it and note the update.
