Montevideo: capital of Uruguay - city where the international airport is located. Montevideo is the largest city in Uruguay with just over 2 million people. Known as a business center and port, there are lots of good restaurants, markets and the Rambla Avenue that stretches along the shoreline is nice.

American Airlines is the only carrier that flies direct into Montevideo from Miami, Florida. All flights arriving in Argentina or Uruguay are overnight flights. The American Airline flight departs at 11 PM in the evening and arrives the next morning at 9 AM.

For those who do not take advantage of the direct flight to Montevideo, you will make a transfer in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most of the airline carriers have a flight that lands at the Buenos Aires airport and then you will want to catch the connecting flight (American, Aerolineas, Pluna) that departs out of EZE-Buenos Aires International Airport. Otherwise you will have to fight traffic and change airports in Buenos Aires. A hectic way to start your Uruguay hunting trip!

Uruguay or La "República Oriental del Uruguay" translated to English is the Eastern Republic of Uruguay. Uruguay is east of the Uruguay River, thus the name. Uruguay's total population is just over 2.5 million people, Montevideo being the largest populated city in Uruguay.

The size of the country is about the size of Oklahoma. Uruguay borders Brazil and Argentina and the Atlantic Ocean.

While Spanish is the main language of Uruguay, many Uruguayans speak English and/or Portuguese.

Uruguay has mild summers and winters and weather can change quickly during the day. Los Gauchos recommends layers for all Uruguay hunting trips.

The currency in Uruguay is the Uruguay Peso (UrP). Many stores will show the USD price as well as the Uruguayan Peso rate. The rate changes daily with the value of the USD.

If you hold a US passport, then you are set for travel in Uruguay. Your US passport must not expire within 6 months of travel to or from Uruguay.
