Book flights, hotels, and activities, curated for travelers visiting Uruguay.
No general booking app should replace Uruguay's official entry, provider and transport checks. Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport type and sometimes qualifying visas held for another country. Consult the Ministry of Interior's current admission-visa table and the relevant Uruguayan consulate before paying for a nonrefundable trip. Book accommodation, guides, adventure activities, rentals and tourism transport through a business you can verify in the Ministry of Tourism's registered-provider directory where applicable. Get the exact property address, inclusions, taxes, cancellation rules and emergency contact in writing. Nonresidents who show foreign identification receive hotel accommodation invoiced at zero VAT throughout the year, but Montevideo has a separate tourist tax at registered accommodation. Do not confuse either rule with temporary restaurant or car-rental promotions. Buy ferry tickets to or from Argentina only through the selected operator's official channel and verify the departure port, check-in time and required travel document. Keep every confirmation, insurance contact and identity-document copy available offline. Leave time between separate ferry, bus and flight tickets because weather and operational changes can disrupt the chain, and do not pay a changed account or substitute provider until it has been verified independently.
