Returned from 8 days in Uruguay. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.
Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $35/night. Good location, basic amenities.
Scene:
Busy and well-organized. Prices were fair for the quality.
Quality:
Girls were friendly and attractive overall. Had 5 encounters total.
Logistics:
Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
Felt safe throughout.
Overall: 9/10. Solid choice, will be back.
Happy to answer any questions.
Returning to Uruguay after 3 years — what's different?

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
