Montevideo Hostels - Reviews and Rates

My initial plan was to go to the Iguazu waterfalls directly from Buenos Aires, but as it would be a 20 hour busride I decided to do this trip in a few steps, so I went to Uruguay first. At the end it appeared to be a much more complicated trip, but definitly worth it. From BA I had to take a ferry to get to Colonia, Uruguay. Colonia is a nice l...

Zo daar zijn we weer, terug in Montevideo. Helemaal chill en relaxt. In niet minder dan een week hebben we ons helemaal aangepast aan het leven in Punta del Diablo. Een gek dorpje, dat is het zeker. Tot drie keer toe hebben we ons verblijf met een dag verlengd, zo chill is het er. Er gebeurt geen kloot en iedereen vindt dat fantastisch, inclusie...

Day 87 Sunday 29th March - Uruguay Woke up at about 9am and went down to the restaurant for breakfast. It was your typical continental breakfast so, bread rolls, ham, cheese, fruit, yoghurt etc (help yourself stylee, so I did). 4000 calories later and we went to get changed and went to meet some of Ismael's friend on "The Rambles", which is basi...

After 4 nights in BsAs we took a boat and bus to Montevideo, Uruguay. We walked around, ate more beef, stayed 2 nights and came back to BsAs. It was fairly mellow.

We got out of a taxi in the Plaza de Independencia and looked up and Marco Sam and Howard were walking along the pavement next to us, just on their way to get some food, pretty convenient because the hostel we had arranged to meet in was full and they had checked into one on the other side of town. We all went for some food eventually, a chinese...

He Said: As we've been writing the last few weeks we've begun to notice that our posts are turning out pretty dull. After talking about it, I think we figured out why. Prior to coming to South America, we were challenged continually by peculiar culture and unfamiliar environments...enough so that it has started to take a lot to get us to turn ou...

And on to Montevideo, the end of our South American journey. Three hours on the bus across the rolling hills and countryside of Uruguay finally opened into the capital city of Montevideo. Montevideo is Uruguay's only large city, giving it an interesting flair. The bus stations was about the cleanest I have ever seen, it looks more like a well-ap...

Hello all, or Hola!! We are now in a small but nice place in Uruguay called Colonia after visiting Montevideo (hte captial) & Salto, in the north. Tomorrow we are heading to Buenos Aries which will be the half way point of our trip, time flies!! We are having a great time & this part of the world is very cheap so we can do a little more.
