Visited Uruguay for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $106/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
Uruguay — overrated?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $80/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $98/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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