Planning my first trip to Uruguay. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Colombia?
5. How is the language barrier?

Coming from the US with experience in a few different countries but first time in Uruguay.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

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

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
