When to go

Uruguay has four seasons well demarcated and inverted to the European ones.

Summer, from November to February, is the high season when it is possible to combine visits to Montevideo and the most interesting historical places in the country and also enjoy its best beaches. Bear in mind that, especially along the Uruguay River, temperatures in these months can be extremely high, averages of 26ºC, 27ºC, maximum in the order of 40ºC.

Winter is, as a rule, relatively cold, with averages of 10ºC, 11ºC and minimum around 0ºC. At any time, between the end of April and October, Uruguay can be hit by massive cold fronts coming from Antarctic latitudes that bring cold, wind and rain.
