'...invaluable... great information about places off the beaten track along the Maldonado and Rochas coasts.' Telegraph Magazine
Product Description
They won the first soccer World Cup. There's a lot of beef raised on the pampa. That's all most people know about Uruguay. Bradt's Uruguay, the only dedicated English-language guide to a country that's small yet bursting with character, shows that the adventurous tourist can uncover much more. It provides in-depth coverage of the capital Montevideo, where the colonial Old City is being restored. There's also detailed information on the coastal city of Colonia (which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List) as well as Punta del Este, to whose beaches the Buenos Aires beautiful crowd flocks each summer. There's advice, too, for active travellers who can rattle their whips on cattle-ranching estancias and spin their sticks in a game of polo or two and for nature enthusiasts keen to watch wildlife in the western wetlands and birds in Cabo Polonio and Santa Teresa. Plus, the book investigates the Brazilian influences behind Uruguay's music and dance, and the country's Afro-Uruguayan culture, most noticeable in Carnaval.

Finally a travel book about Uruguay!!
19 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ever since returning from living for two years in this wonderful South American country, I have been looking for a book to take me back. Even though this brand new travel guide has almost as much information in it about Argentina as it does Uruguay, it is the first definitive book ever published about the Eastern Republic of Uruguay. It is detailed enough to explore the changes that have occurred in the towns where I lived 35 years ago and esoteric enough to relive those days without going back.
If you are looking for a very good book about Uruguay or an excellent guide to help plan a trip to Uruguay's main tourist destinations (Montevideo, Colonia, Punta del Este, etc.) or the Buenos Aires area of Argentina across the Rio de la Plata, you can't go wrong with this well written, enjoyable guide. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to know more about Uruguay.

Uruguay Guide
16 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book as a gift for my husband. He was estatic! The picture capture the gauchos that live there. The culture description was exact and the history was more informative than he realized.
He can't wait to share with his family. He and is family are from Uruguay and he was a vision of the country that he loves.
He asked me how I found the book. I explained I read reviews from Amazon and the review for this book captured my attention as well as the ability to read parts on Amazon.
Perfect book from anyone who wants to visit or just for those Uruguayans who want a real story about their beautiful country.
