What is the best time to travel to Uruguay? What time of year? We enjoy warm weather, but not to overbearingly hot and is there a certain time when it can get too touristy?

No trackbacks.

The colder it is in the usa the warmer it is here. Punta del Este the "hot tourist" spot will be very busy Jan, Feb, less so in Dec and Mar and more or less a ghost town the rest of the year.

Outside of Punta del Este I don't think you need to worry about any part being too touristy, anytime. June, July it will almost hit freeze (warmer if you are further north than Montevideo).

Thanks! Sounds like December may be a good time to travel. That is our favorite time to travel anyways so it is good to know. Just want to make sure what to pack. I always try to pack light, but I never know what type of weather to expect.

I was thinking of visiting around November and my friend told me that was one of the slow months. I think I will take you guys advice and plan a trip for the end or beginning of the year.

In December you won't be needing anything heavy or even a light jacket in the day. If you are out late at night you might want a light wind breaker.

Your problem will be departing the rainbow and return.

If you want to hang out on the beach mid December or later would be my recommendation. If the beach isn't in your plans 365 days a year are great.

Today was the first day of the year I wore a light jacket going out in th early evening and it wasn't really necessary.

Sounds delightful to me. About what does the temperature stay at in the spring and summer months? Is this time of year autumn for you?

To steal Chuck's words

Today was the first day of Fall in Uruguay (and, of course, it's the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere.) The weather here felt like summer and there were plenty of people on Pocitos beach. The trees are still green and there are plenty of flowers blooming. The days, however, are noticeably shorter.

Great info! I had have to hardest time deciding the best time to book the trip. I definitely don't want to be there when it is very crowded. I wouldn't mind going in the December especially since it snows around here during that time.

I've found some of the best fares are from American Airlines website, but not strictly American.

Try this process:

Go to aa.com

select "Search By: Price & Schedule < Enhanced". Then select Advanced Search. Then select All Carriers.

The results will then include other airlines, though you can purchase your tickets from aa. They list the American flights first so you might need to scroll down, or go to secondary results pages to see the lowest fare.

On a recent trip to Miami... the fares for MVD-MIA were in the US$1400 ballpark. Using the other carriers option we found a flight for US$743.
