The world's longest water-front promenade, the longest carnival lasting 40 nights, more art-deco architecture than any city besides New York, progressive politics, world-class music, and a unique cultural scene, 10 beaches, historic cafés, outstanding wines, and the tastiest beef. Montevideo, capital of Uruguay, South America's second smallest nation, has it all.
With just one and a half million residents, Montevideo is small enough to get around on foot and the locals are extremely friendly, like you'd find in a small town.
As you'll listen, you'll find there are so many things to do that you're going to want to spend at least four days and three nights to really get a flavour of the city. Though if you can, spend longer and make side-trips to deserted beaches, wine country, and ride with gauchos in the interior, known as "Uruguay profundo". And plan to sleep a lot of siestas. Because you're going to want to dive into the local music scene and shows don't start till late.
The secret delights of Montevideo are not evident. It's not an easy city to get a handle on, even when you speak Spanish. Use this guide together with our website www.guruguay.com and find us on social media. Then you will have access to the kind of up-to-date, insider knowledge that only a local has. Because unlike other international travel guides to Uruguay, this guide is written - and read to you - by an author who is an internationally recognised expert on Uruguay and who has called Montevideo her home for over two decades. Montevideo remains a unique off-the-radar destination in South America. Lucky you.

Karen, if you add ambient sounds or traditional music, it would be amazing!
I really enjoyed the chapter on Uruguayan expressions. Karen adds passion in each intonation, it shows that she loves Uruguay.
So... don't sleep “siestas” and add Uruguay to your wish list!
Karen is an extraordinary Guru'Guay Guide!

When Karen (and I) came to live here around 20 years ago, tourism in Uruguay was very low-key, even lacklustre. A frequently expressed attitude was that a tiny country with only 3.25m people offered nothing much of interest to the traveller apart from wonderful beaches in summer, fabulous meat and wine year-round, and a dazzling reputation on the world football arena. Even in Montevideo itself, if you couldn’t read or understand spoken Spanish, without local contacts it was difficult for the independent traveller to find comprehensive, organised and accurate, up to date information on services, attractions and events, in any language at all. The result was that until relatively recently, the city of Montevideo was one of the best kept tourism secrets in Latin America. Though information is now more widely available by internet (and there’s good coverage across the country) this comprehensive book has gathered everything and more that the traveller needs to know into the one place. Each chapter begins with the topic it covers, which makes searching particular topics easy, and they’re loaded with information, explanations, advice and tips on topics such as Clothing, Money and Tipping, Things To Do, Festivals, Outdoor Activities and many more. Every traveller to Uruguay needs this one, comprehensive, guide to the city of Montevideo - Alison Schwabe
