Visited Uruguay for 12 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $127/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
