Staying Safe
Uruguay has one of the lowest rate of violent crime in Latin America, and it is unlikely that you will encounter any problems during your stay.
Be sure to use common sense while traveling in Uruguay, just as you would in any other location. We recommend that you leave valuable jewelry – including watches – at home, as well as expensive electronics. Carry a money belt, use the hotel safe to hold your passport and other important documents, and be aware of your surroundings.
All our tours include professional tour guides, and we will arrange all transportation, transfers, hotels, and tours that we know personally and recommend highly.
