Can any locals give me some travel advice?

9 years ago
Hi, I am really sorry to post in this forum, and apologise in advance if this is not appropriate, but I'm hoping some locals can help me planning a short visit to Uruguay. I tried forums like Lonely Planet but didn't get any response.

I am really struggling on what is the best way and making the most of our limited time in South America. We are flying into Buenos Aires arriving early AM and out of Rio late PM. We have 12 nights/13 days. We know we want 4 nights in Rio and want to see Iguassu too. Uruguay is high on our list and it is likely we will return to Buenos Aires and Chile next year for some hiking in Patagonia but for now its about trying to work out splitting up the limited time we have.

We have frequent flyer miles with TAM and GOL so are happy to fly in between places if this is better use of our time but to get from Uruguay to Iguassu it seems we have to backtrack back to BA if I have got this right or from BA to Paraguay and then go to Iguassu from there. We used Cruz del Sur buses in Peru and are happy to use the equivalent if this helps us achieve more time wise.

Does anyone have any suggestions in terms of transportation options to see Uruguay and particular Colonia and if this is possible with the time we have. We have UK passports so don't need visas which is one less thing to worry about.

Any suggestions or advice would be really welcome. Thanks in advance.

Rachel
