Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, harmoniously combines modernity and tradition. Ancient architectural treasures such as el Cabildo, the Iglesia Matriz (Matriz Church) and the Puerta de la Ciudadela (City Gate), styles such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco and cutting-edge modern buildings such as the Torre de las Comunicaciones (Communications Tower), give the city a unique identity.  The capital’s Rambla (waterfront promenade), providing access to over 30 km of coastline, is one of the main attributes of Montevideo and an unforgettable stroll for its inhabitants who frequently go there to drink ‘mate’ (South American style of tea) and go for long walks. In addition, the vast number of green spaces, parks and gardens also provide numerous outdoor options. Montevideo also has an extensive cultural scene. For example, its theatrical productions are remarkably extensive and varied, and include classic, modern and alternative shows.  In its museums, cultural centers and showrooms it is possible to appreciate the art of a wide range of internationally recognised artists such as Juan Manuel Blanes, Rafael Barradas, Pedro Figari, Joaquín Torres García, José Cúneo and Ignacio Iturria, among others.  In 2013, for the second time, Montevideo was named the Ibero-American Culture Capital by the Union of the Ibero-American Capital Cities (UCCI - Unión de Ciudades Capitales Iberoamericanas) and, therefore, a broad agenda has been scheduled in order to celebrate this distinction.

Montevideo is a sight to behold, and this tour will take you to the loveliest locations in town. This is a tour to familiarize yourself with the lovely historic city, and we want you to feel at ease and enjoy yourself as you explore in comfort with your bilingual private guide and driver.

Along the way you can marvel at the Old City, taking in the rich colonial architecture that gives Montevideo a sense of wonder. We’ll also take you to the Port Market, the central hub for everything in Montevideo. This will give you look deep inside culture and atmosphere of this city. Independence Square is another must-see. Here, a 17-meter high statue of Uruguay's national hero Jose Gervasio Artigas rises proudly into the sky. Then you can learn about the Legislative Palace (Palacio Legislativo), which is the working place of the General Assembly of Uruguay. Feeling the love? Then enjoy a romantic visit to “El Prado,” a meadow that creates the perfect atmosphere to ignite some passion between you and your loved one. For a more grounded look at the city, relax in local neighborhoods of Carrasco, Punta Gorda and Pocitos. Here you can meet with the friendly locals, and learn about their daily lives in Uruguay.  You will also see the sensational promenade, and walk on the beautiful beaches.

Designed by Dr. Alister Mackenzie, inaugurated in May 1934. 18 hole course, par 73. The location of the court, which borders the city coast and its design give it a framework of hierarchy and distinction that can be observed in very few cities. The greens are wide and most are very well protected by bunkers, wooded fairways and in some cases narrow, taking several holes of their course out of bounds.

We suggest alternative options:

• Ranch Day at Estancia
• Punta del Este day Tour
• Colona del Sacramento day Tour
• Wine Tour
