Uruguay itineraries
Ready-made Uruguay routes for 4, 7, 10 or 14 days — the classic triangle, coastal road trip, wine, estancia, honeymoon and family itineraries, built around how many registers you can realistically combine.
10 days in Uruguay
Ten days extends Uruguay's classic triangle with a fourth register. A full day-by-day for the recommended shape — Montevideo, Punta del Este, the Rocha coast and Colonia — plus two alternates built around wine country or an estancia stay.
14 days in Uruguay
Two weeks is enough to loop Uruguay's five registers into one trip — Montevideo, Colonia, the interior's estancia country, the Rocha coast and the Punta del Este coast — without backtracking. A full day-by-day, transport notes, and how to trim back to 10 days.
4 days in Uruguay
A 4-day Uruguay itinerary built around picking two registers, not three — the default Montevideo + Colonia route that works in any season, plus a full alternate day-by-day for a Montevideo + Punta del Este coast trip.
7 days in Uruguay
A week is Uruguay's sweet spot — long enough for real depth, not just breadth. Three different 7-day shapes (classic triangle, coast + wine, Montevideo + the quiet Rocha coast), with a full day-by-day for the shape this site doesn't cover elsewhere.
Gaucho & estancia itinerary
A 4–6 day route into Uruguay's gaucho interior — Montevideo arrival, a multi-night estancia stay around Florida, Lavalleja or Tacuarembó, horseback riding and asado, with an optional extension to Salto's thermal springs.
The classic triangle: Montevideo, Punta del Este & Colonia
A 7-day, day-by-day route through Uruguay's default triangle — Montevideo, the Punta del Este coast and Colonia del Sacramento — with the order that makes sense, the bus and ferry legs between them, and how to shrink or extend it.
Uruguay coastal road trip
A self-drive route along the full Uruguayan Atlantic coast — Montevideo, Punta del Este and José Ignacio, La Paloma, Punta del Diablo and off-grid Cabo Polonio — with the driving logistics, seasonal limits and the specific way in to Cabo Polonio.
Uruguay family itinerary
A family-paced Uruguay route with fewer transitions and more downtime: Montevideo's walkable Rambla life, the calmer Playa Mansa side of the Punta del Este coast, and Colonia as an optional day trip rather than a full relocation.
Uruguay honeymoon itinerary
A 7–10 day romance-focused route through Uruguay — José Ignacio's low-key coastal luxury and Colonia del Sacramento's old-town charm as the two anchors, with an optional estancia finish, weighted toward fewer stops done well.
Uruguay wine country itinerary
A 3–5 day route through Uruguay's wine country — Canelones near Montevideo, the newer Maldonado/Garzón region near Punta del Este, and an optional Carmelo extension near Colonia — with the driving logistics and how tastings typically work.
