Gone are the days of thinking Uruguay is a day trip visit from Buenos Aires. We\u2019d recommend a far longer stay in this wonderful, under-the-radar country. We love its gently rolling grassland, endless plains and 120 miles of pristine Atlantic beaches \u2013 and the sun shines year-round. Buzzy Montevideo is an eclectic blend of cosmopolitan restaurants, live music and beautiful historical architecture in the Ciudad Vieja. Colonia del Sacramento is a UNESCO gem: colonial houses covered in fragrant jasmine and vintage cars purring along cobbled roads. Come to hang with the glitterati around Jose Ignacio \u2013 an exclusive beach enclave on the Uruguayan Riviera \u2013 or go off-radar for a few days to swing in a hammock and surf at laid-back Punta del Diablo. And don\u2019t miss the opportunity to overnight in an estancia and ride out with gauchos. Travelling here is safe and easy, and Uruguayans are famed for their hospitality. Plus you can day trip to Buenos Aires while you\u2019re here! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4020,"template":"","format":"standard","country_category":[191],"when-filter":[],"type-filter":[],"who-filter":[],"appeal-filter":[],"class_list":["post-4187","destination","type-destination","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country_category-south-america-en-us"],"yoast_head":"\nSabbatical & Experiential Vacations In Uruguay | LiNGER Travel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Experience the charm of Uruguay on your sabbatical or experiential vacation with LiNGER Travel.
