Why Uruguay: For the unspolit and tranquil Rocha province, our amazing autumn and spring rides, and miles of glorious beaches dotted with discreet and charming getaways.
Capital: Montevideo
Getting there: The easiest way is to fly direct to Montevideo. Alternatively Uruguay can be combined with a visit to Argentina, in which case a ferry can be taken from Buenos Aires to either Colonia (45 mins) or Montevideo (3 hours) on the north side of the Rio del Plata. There are also short connecting flight from Buenos Aires to Montevideo.
Time: GMT minus 4 hours.
Try not to miss: The old Portuguese town at Colonia and the fabulous Juanico vineyard north east of Montevideo. Afterwards head east along the coast to Rocha province, an unspoilt landscape of grassy estancias, groves of wild palm trees and beautiful freshwater lagoons. We have hand picked a selection of special estancias and posadas in this lovely province that offer ideal retreats from which to explore the surrounding countryside on foot or horseback whilst enjoying exemplary cuisine and staying in great comfort. The Rocha coastline is also wilder and less crowded here, and includes the enchanting fishing village of Cabo Polonio, which is only accessible on foot, horse or by 4 wheel drive vehicle. We offer a selection of diverse and exciting mobile riding holidays in this region, please select the riding tab for further infomation. Away from the bright lights and glitz of Punta del Este, Jose Ignacio is another of our favourite destinations and the perfect place to relax overlooking the ocean at the end of your holiday.
Visas: No visa is required for visits of up to 90 days for UK citizens.
