Travel Easy Around Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil

Travelling around Uruguay has never been easier and faster before.
Usually tourists leave the country with the idea that there is only nice beach spots on the atlantic coast, but that is not true.
Visiting the best ranches and Inns in Uruguay will take you to go to other areas like Salto, Paysandu, which are on the north.

Now with Buquebus airlines you can travel by plane to several places between Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil south region.
Flight frequency is good and relatively cheap. You can travel from Montevideo to Salto, which is greatly known for its thermal waters.
You can also fly from Punta del Este to Buenos Aires easy. Brazilian destinations include Florianopolis, Iguazu water falls and the nice city of Porto Alegre.

So my recommendation is, spend some great days in Uruguay and then plan a escape to those destinations mentioned before. Uruguay has been always known as an strategic location in southamerica and you now can see why.

Whale watching when visiting the atlantic coast in Uruguay is a fantastic experience. The Franca Whales come from the argentinian Patagonia and pass over Punta del Este every year between September and November on their way to Brazil. Punta del Diablo is another perfect spot to take this experience.

In Punta del Este, if you're adventurous, the company Calypso offers boat trips to photograph the whales. I can't tell you exactly what the cost to take a tour is right now but if needed we can get it for you.

If you're already in Punta, Calypso is in Rambla and the 21st street, near the port.

Are you a whale watching fan? This is the right moment to visit Punta del este. Leave us a comment if you need more info.
