Travel Resources
Uruguay
Uruguay travel guides are now online and Los Gauchos is proud to be one. Uruguay is not a heavily talked about country when it comes to South America travel. Los Gauchos is slowly changing that, as Uruguay has a lot to offer. Travel to Uruguay is an easy, efficient trip and the travel in Uruguay is usually by car - with an airport in Montevideo and the entire country about the size of Oklahoma.
Not only is the duck hunting, dove hunting, pigeon hunting and Perdiz hunting outstanding in Uruguay, but the dorado fishing is some of the best freshwater fishing. Uruguay is a small country, a safe country, and one with lots of good wines, food, restaurants, people and a relaxed atmosphere that many of us have forgotten what that is like. Enjoy Uruguay travel and the resources Los Gauchos presents for your travel plans to Uruguay.

What to Bring and what to see in Uruguay
Travel to Uruguay is a great addition to any Uruguay duck hunt or dove hunt. Montevideo is the largest city and the capital of Uruguay.

The wines unique to Uruguay and grown in many of the local vineyards are excellent and very comparable to neighbor Argentina and their vast selection of Mendoza wines. Uruguay people are very well educated and the majority of Uruguay people learn English in school, so they love to practice their new language with guests when they hear English. The currency in Uruguay is the Uruguay peso which varies day to day in comparison to the US dollar. At present it the Uruguay peso is = to 20 UY pesos.
