What to Pack to Uruguay

What to Pack to Uruguay

People relocating always bring too much stuff and the ones who manage to bring a reasonable amount usually bring things of little importance and leave some of the small essentials back home.

I have seen it time and time again: people (those with families in particular) think that they should virtually disassemble their home in the States and reestablish it in whatever country they are moving to. This is not the best way to do things.

Charlie's in the Kitchen at Lo de Charlie Restaurant in Punta del Este

Charlie's in the Kitchen at Lo de Charlie Restaurant in Punta del Este

Lo de Charlie is considered by many to be a Punta classic: delicious food that always hits the mark, large portion sizes, and a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere.

The selection at Lo de Charlie is very wide, although the menu is heavy on the sea food, as to be expected. There are plenty of other choices, however,such as the insane wood-fired beef and lamb.

Unusual to many typical Uruguayan restaurants the vegetable servings are quite healthy, and the salads are actually the kind you would order as a meal!

Despite being on the more expensive side, Lo de Charlie gives off a more casual vibe, perhaps due to the fact that Charlie himself can be found at the end of Read more

Uruguay Weather – Enjoy all Four Seasons

Uruguay Weather - Enjoy all Four Seasons

One of my favorite things about Uruguay is the weather. In comparison to other countries where you can retire, I find the four seasons pretty refreshing. (Compare Uruguay with countries like Costa Rica with 6 months of dry weather and 6 months of unstoppable rain, and you can see why Uruguay weather, in my opinion, is so much better.)

In Montevideo the temperature has a pretty wide range, going below freezing just a couple days a year and above 90F/32C only about a week a year. The biggest difference is that since Uruguay is in the Southern hemisphere the seasons are opposite, putting Christmas in the summer, Easter in the Autumn, Halloween falls in the Spring and the Independence Read more

Quick Tips for Understanding Uruguayan Spanish

Quick Tips for Understanding Uruguayan Spanish

Uruguay Spanish is considered Latin American Spanish, not castellano, as Spain Spanish is called. However, there are some differences in pronunciation, and of course wording, due to a stronger Portuguese and Italian influence. The Spanish used in Uruguay is very similar to that used in Buenos Aires, Argentina because of their close proximity to one another.

Even with training and a decent knowledge of Spanish, you may find it a little difficult to understand the accent in Uruguay when you first arrive. What is the may difference? Well, the most prominent pronunciation difference from the Spanish spoken in Uruguay and Buenos Aires to that of the rest of Latin America is the pronunciation of the Spanish double L, “ll.” Read more

Clubs, Bars, and Drinks in Punta del Este

Clubs, Bars, and Drinks in Punta del Este

Partying in Punta del Este is only restricted by the number of hours in the night. For most the evening gets started with a late dinner and is followed with hours of hopping from club to club, particularly the ones located in the La Barra district.

Tequila is considered to be the hippest place to hangout, especially for its popularity among celebrities. Tequila is open daily, but only during the high season (from December to March) from 10:30 pm to 4 am. The hottest nightclub in town is a cozy single floor club with red and black booths. It spins a variety of music including Latin tracks and international hip hop chart toppers.
