Montevideo Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Hola! We have now waved goodbye to Brasil, and have arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay. The city seems pretty nice, we are staying in La Ciudad Vieja, which is the old part of the town, with lots of nice colonial buildings, and actually has a very european feel to it. We had our first proper marathon bus journey in order to get here from Florianopol...

Another 6 hour bus trip to Montevideo. Arriving at the bus station we set about trying to organize accommodation. Unfortunately charades don´t work too well over the phone, so with what sounded like a couple of Si Si we caught a local bus into town. We found our place aptly named ".....ideal", which we thought it was until the next morning when ...

Montevideo is only 2.5 hours by bus from Colonia - we left dead on schedule and arrived just one minute late! Not bad! The countryside we passed was very flat and seemed to be mostly brown fields full of straw bales. Apparently there´s been no rain for 3 months so everywhere is very dry. As we neared Montevideo there were some very poor looking ...

I'm not sure when but I had this extraordinary brainwave. 'Hire a bike, PJ, then you'll be able to see both churches.' Actually, it must have been when I got back to the hostel from Punta del Este because I remember seeing an advert on the noticeboard about bike hire. So, at 9 am I went and rented a push bike. Quite cheap it was too. Really chea...

So as I'm sure as you all know since you are reading this, I'm studying abroad in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, a small South Dakota-sized country south of Brazil and east of Argentina. As I write this I'm finishing day 2. So far, it has been pretty intense. I feel like I've been here for a week already! But no, I haven't even completed s...

Finally, we are ´home´ in my sweet Buenos Aires! Yesterday was a somewhat exhausting day, leaving Colonia in the early hours and catching the bus to Montevideo, Uraguay´s capital. As we arrived it quickly became apparent that a Sunday was not the best day to visit and the beginning of winter was also not the best time of year! Put simply, it was...

By the end of our time in the falls, the place was somehow our friend. I know that sounds strange, but that is how it felt. We were comfortable, we felt supported, and we felt like friends. Needless to say, leaving comfort is not always easy. I sat staring at the falls, thinking too much, complicating the process. Thankfully the taxi driver did ...

"Are you travelling", the guy sitting next to me in the internet cafe asks. "Si", I say. "What are you doing here?" he asks. I'm thinking, 'Yeah, what am I doing here' but I say, "Just looking around". He's originally from Uruguay but now lives in NYC and is back for a week long visit. There's not much to do here except eat, drink and watch peop...

What´s Hot: mate + mugs + thermos, coffee with baileys and charlotte for $3, farming cows, beachside resorts, cobblestone roads, going to Teatro Solis and watching jazz, old bullfighting stadium, the ´hand in the sand´, staying in a one star hotel. What´s Not: beachside resorts during the off season + winter storms, uruguayan wine, cubierto cove...

Ended up staying longer than I thought in Presidente, but it was fun there. Arrived in Foz do Iguaçu eventually and took off for the waterfalls. It was sort of a strange feeling being out in this part of the country after living the city life for about 6 weeks. The other thing is that feeling of traveling again. Was pretty comfortable in Rio, an...
