Uruguay is a tiny country between Argentina and Brazil whose capital is Montevideo, the home of about half of the population. Montevideo is on the coast and has narrow city beaches. Other beaches include Punta del Este, a major destination for Brazilian and Argentine tourists, and Punta del Diablo, a beach more suitable for surfers and backpackers. The interior of the country has fewer attractions than the coast, but should not be overlooked, as it is home to many vineyards and farms.
Uruguay's climate is temperate and cooler than one might think. Summer begins during November, and is very hot. Winter starts at the end of March, and until the Spring begins, chilly weather and frequent storms can be expected.
The country can be reached by Buquebus, a ferry service that operates two boats, one a smaller high-speed boat and another larger less expensive boat that takes three times longer. Trips operate between Colonia del Sacramento, Montevideo and Punta del Este and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Trips are so frequent between the two countries that customs and immigration is virtually non-existent. Be on time for the ferry or you will miss it. They are punctual unlike everything else in Latin America.
