“If Uruguay isn’t already on your South American bucket list, 2020 is the perfect year to add it”, states Lonely Planet, one of the world’s most renowned travel guide publishers, in its ranking of the top 10 countries to visit next year.

According to the study, the country has proudly championed a progressive social agenda in recent years, from marijuana legalisation and the open embrace of LGBTQ+ rights to the promotion of sustainable tourism. It also has 660km of Río de la Plata and Atlantic shoreline, a burgeoning wine industry, bubbling hot springs and endless rolling rangelands where South America’s grandeur feels seductively tangible.

“Uruguay has something for everyone. But what visitors remember most are Uruguay’s laid-back, welcoming and down-to-earth people and the subtle but profound beauty of the country’s landscape – from the long, untamed Atlantic coastline to the boundless open spaces of the pampas”.
