Currently the three most popular destinations in Uruguay are the capital, Montevideo, the 17^th century port of Colonia, and the beaches of Punta del Este.

Montevideo is the largest city in Uruguay, and is an important harbor town. It is alive with business, arts, and culture, with a number of museums and galleries. This historic destination is also considered to be the city with the highest quality of living in Latin America.

Colonia is found in southern Uruguay, right across the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a World Heritage Site thanks to its historical quarter.

Punta del Este, as has already been mentioned on the blog, is the trendiest beach down and highly favored beach destination for many of the socially elite.
