Montevideo Carnival, Uruguay - Carnaval Montevideo
South America is well known for it's Colourful Carnivals and one of the great places to experience this is in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Carnival is widely celebrated throughout the country but the big parties can be found in Montevideo. Carnival is celebrated during January and February each year.
One of the main highlights during the Carnival season is known as llamadas. This takes place in the streets of the Palermo and Sur districts of Montevideo, and is usually held in early February.
Participants come from all over the country to enjoy the sights and sounds of Candombé. This is a drum-based rhythm and dance which originated among the Afro-Uruguayan population. Groups taking part are made up of drummers and dancers, all dressed up in colourful clothes and face paint. The groups are judged in various categories including drumming and dancing abilities. The Carnival is loud and vibrant, with people enjoying the festive party atmosphere.
The entertainment starts early evening going on until late. It is best to arrive early to get a good spot. You can stand or pay for a ticket in one of the seated areas that are spread along the route. Tickets can be purchased through Abitab branches in advance. Check out this link for dates and ticket pricing:
If you happened to be in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during Carnival season, you can easily cross over the Rio de la Plata to Montevideo by Ferry. We would recommend staying at least a few days in Montevideo not only to enjoy Carnival but also the beautiful city itself. Check out the link at the top of the text to see our video on catching a Buquebus Ferry.
At Sightseer.TV we have plenty of short videos on things to see and do Buenos Aires, which will help you plan your trip. So please come and visit our site.

10 Things NOT To Do in Uruguay
Get more Tips here!
What’s not to love about Uruguay? The nation is not only home to an inviting cultural heritage and diverse natural beauty, but it’s routinely praised as South America’s least corrupt and most democratic nation. However, it's always good to remember these 10 Things NOT to do in Uruguay to avoid troubles.
1. Don’t Stay on the Beaches
There’s nothing wrong with spending a few days lounging and enjoying the scenery, but you’ll be remiss if you don’t take the opportunity to travel inland and enjoy all the cultural and natural beauty of the country. It’s absolutely worth exploring.
2. Don’t Drop Your Guard in Montevideo
While the capital city isn’t more dangerous than any other major city throughout the world, it still has its share of crime. When you’re in tourist-heavy locations, it’s a good idea to be on the lookout for pickpockets and small time criminals.
3. Don’t Park Anywhere
Urban areas in Uruguay are known for car break-ins, so it’s best not to leave your rental car unattended on the street. Montevideo has several pay parking options that will provide for the safety of your vehicle throughout your stay.
4. Don’t Be Put Off By the Hello Kiss
Don’t be surprised if you meet someone and find them leaning in to kiss you on the cheek. Men and women alike will greet you in this way, so it’s best just to go with it.
5. Don’t Shop at the Same Store Over and Over
The prices of goods can vary from place to place in Uruguay, so try to explore the area and visit a series of different shops. You might find that some shops have better prices on various items.
6. Don’t Just Wander Into the Ocean
In the Beaches, lifeguard towers often have flags hanging outside. A red flag indicates the most dangerous conditions and means you should probably stick to sunning yourself rather than taking a dip.
7. Don’t Give Money to Street Kids in Montevideo
They might look friendly and charming, but if you hand over a few bucks, you could be feeding addiction. One of the hardest hit segments of the population are young kids who beg on the street to get cash for their next fix.
8. Don’t Go Without Learning Some Spanish
It’s best to learn a few phrases of Spanish to get through most interactions. Most people in Uruguay will be very patient with you, so don’t be nervous about trying the language even if you’re not fluent.
9. Don’t Go at Any Time of the Year
As gorgeous as it is, Uruguay is also home to its fair share of natural disasters, as well. Be sure to watch the weather before you go, and in the event of an emergency, just pay attention to the local authorities.
10. Don’t Leave Home Without Some Cash
The official currency of Uruguay is the Uruguayan peso. The value of 30 pesos is about one American dollar. As a result, most places love doing business with the dollar, and you can often negotiate the price of certain goods.
Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

Montevideo - Uruguay
Visiting Uruguay was one of the best things I ever did. Sandwiched between the two bigwigs - Brazil and Argentina, this tiny South American country often gets neglected by most travelers. But Uruguay is pure joy and I recommend that you visit this country with an open heart and mind.
The capital Montevideo is small but vibrant and eclectic and is known to be one of the safest in South America. Its an easy city to stroll around and enjoy the rich cultural life and if you are a meat lover, dining in some of the city’s steak joints can leave you with some divine food memories.

Buenos Aires to Montevideo - How to get there
Uruguay is just across the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires and well worth a visit. Many people visit Uruguay to enjoy its beautiful coastline, as well as it's cities and towns like Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento. So how do you get to Montevideo, Uruguay from Buenos Aires, Argentina? Here's how:
One of the most popular ways is by Ferry. Buquebus is one of the main ferry operators between Argentina and Uruguay. The company operates daily crossings from Buenos Aires to both Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento on the Uruguayan side.
Buquebus also offers bus services to other places along the Uruguayan coast. These include coastal towns like Punta del Este, Piriapolis and La Padrera.
The main Buquebus ferry terminal in Buenos Aires can be found next to the port area of Puerto Madero. Within the main terminal building is a ticket office. You can purchase tickets here or online through the Buquebus website. Ferries run throughout the day and the company also run day trips and excursions to Uruguay.
If you have time on your hands, you could travel 1 hour north of Buenos Aires to Tigre. Here you can catch a ferry to Carmelo in Uruguay. This crossing takes a scenic route past the Tigre Delta.
Another way to get to Uruguay is by coach. To do this you need to go to the main long haul coach terminal in Buenos Aires called Retiro. The journey from Buenos Aires to Montevideo takes approximately 8 hours by bus. Most buses depart late at night arriving early morning in Uruguay. Taking the bus can work out cheaper and can helps avoid delays if bad weather is effecting the ferry crossings.
Finally, a very quick option but usually more expensive, is to fly. There are regular flights from Buenos Aires to Montevideo. Most flights depart and arrive from Jorge Newberry Airport in Buenos Aires. Other flights go from the main international airport of Ezeiza.
Whichever way you cross from Argentina to Uruguay, or visa versa, you are bound to enjoy your time in both.
Montevideo Uruguay Travel Guide
Montevideo Uruguay Travel Guide
Montevideo is the pleasant capital city of Uruguay, a country in South America. It is situated on the east bank of the Rio de la Plata and is the southernmost capital city in South America. It revolves around the Plaza de la Independencia, once home to a Spanish citadel. This plaza leads to Ciudad Vieja (the old town), with art deco buildings, colonial homes and landmarks including the towering Palacio Salvo and neoclassical performance hall Solís Theatre. Mercado del Puerto is an old port market filled with many steakhouses.
Montevideo was founded in 1724. For much of its early history, the city consisted of what is now known as the Ciudad Vieja (Old Town). By the mid-19th century the city began to grow eastward towards what is now known as Centro. The demolition of the old fort that used to mark the eastern boundary of Old Town enabled the construction of what is now Plaza Independencia. Eventually Boulevard Artigas was built around Centro, but by 1910, suburbs were already developing beyond it which were later annexed into the growing city.
The nation’s capital and home to nearly half of Uruguay’s population, Montevideo is a vibrant, eclectic place with a rich cultural life. Stretching 20km from east to west, the city wears many faces, from its industrial port to the exclusive beachside suburb of Carrasco near the airport. In the historic downtown business district, art deco and neoclassical buildings jostle for space alongside grimy, worn-out skyscrapers that appear airlifted from Havana or Ceauşescu’s Romania, while to the southeast the shopping malls and modern high-rises of beach communities such as Punta Carretas and Pocitos bear more resemblance to those of Miami or Copacabana. Music, theater and the arts are alive and well here – from elegant older theaters and cozy little tango bars to modern beachfront discos – and there’s a strong international flavor, thanks to the many foreign cultural centers and Montevideo’s status as administrative headquarters for Mercosur, South America’s leading trading bloc.
Montevideo is not a large city and it boasts a very efficient public transportation system so getting around is not difficult at all. If you are not bashful about your Spanish, feel free to ask people which bus route you need to take to get to your destination as it can be the most effective and cheap option. The Rambla is a waterside roadway has people biking, fishing, drinking mate, and enjoying the great views. Spend part of Sunday morning with the locals on La Feria Tristán Narvaja Flea Market. Pocitos barrio lies about 2 miles south-east of El Centro. The Pocitos beach runs east from Punta Trouville for about a mile.
