Plaza Independencia in Montevideo in Uruguay

Montevideo

Montevideo is a city of understated elegance where European grandeur meets a relaxed coastal spirit. Montevideo’s historic Old City showcases captivating colonial architecture, charming plazas, and vibrant markets where the scent of sizzling asado fills the air. Montevideo’s rich cultural heritage comes alive through its museums, contemporary art galleries, and the rhythmic pulse of Candombe, an Afro-Uruguayan tradition that echoes through its streets. Carrasco offers a luxurious and serene retreat by the sea, with beautiful views of Río de la Plata shimmering in the distance.

A glamorous seaside escape, Punta del Este is where golden beaches meet the rolling green countryside, creating a playground for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. The coastline stretches from the calm waters of La Mansa to the dramatic waves of La Brava, while nearby villages like La Barra and Manantiales exude a bohemian charm. Beyond the shore, boutique vineyards and olive groves offer a taste of Uruguay’s rich terroir, and the surrounding estancias invite guests to experience the timeless beauty of the countryside. Whether cycling along the coast, sailing to secluded islands, or savoring fresh seafood at a beachfront restaurant, Punta del Este captures the essence of laid-back luxury.

Treasured as a quiet summer getaway by those in the know, the serene village of Jose Ignacio offers miles of deserted beaches. Just moments away lie rolling green hills, punctuated throughout with traditional Uruguayan estancias and exquisite vineyards. During the summer, the culinary scene of Jose Ignacio hosts some of the region's best chefs at its chic restaurants, which invite you to savor their deliciously fresh meats, fish, and produce from the nearby countryside and ocean. Guests in this refined corner or Uruguay may find themselves horseback riding by the Atlantic Ocean along its pristine beaches one moment, before enjoying an exclusive wine tasting beside the grapevines at a top winery the next, offering a wonderful variety of activities for all interests.

The staff were amazing, at both hotels. The polo lesson I got from Bauti, at Estancia Vik, was absolutely amazing. My kite boarding lesson was great. Eating at La Olada was a high point, as was the La Barra fisherwomen's cooperative, in La Rocha lagoon, near Las Palomas.

We just returned yesterday after a long trip home and to say we had an amazing visit is an understatement. Your travel advice was spot on and we thoroughly loved everyday part of our stay in both BA and Jose Ignacio. The trip would not have been as special without the guidance and support of our host and hostess. Marcos and Emma were both amazing and invaluable, taking care of every little detail. They were so knowledgable and personable and always made themselves available to us. Both were wonderful with our children as well. I am so appreciative to you and Blue Parallel for giving our family such an amazing gift. We will remember this trip forever and are already hoping to return before too long.

Nothing but superlatives to describe our experience from the initial contact with Blue Parallel to end of the trip itself. This exclusive tour of the most prestigious vineyards of Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile was the best trip ever. Ernestina, Cora, Jorge, Ossian and German have become our friends. Everything top notch.

Thank you again for the high class service from Blue Parallel. You and your team were excellent. The trip was phenomenal and each one of our guides was exceptional! The hotels and restaurants were also first class. I know this was done last minute — just think if we really planned! I have been asked for my itinerary by 10 different people... I will refer Blue Parallel!

As usual, your planning, staff, and execution was super. Everyone with Blue Parallel has been very helpful and knowledgeable throughout our stay in Brazil. They anticipate what needs to be done and make necessary changes with apparent ease. Altogether an excellent trip, as we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
