Tourists should also visit the Gold Coast and the Uruguayan
Riviera whilst in Uruguay. This tiny nation gives tourists many options
when it comes to coastal lifestyles, as the country is surrounded by beautiful
beaches and rivers.
Tourists have often chosen to stay at the Punta del Este
resort for just a few weeks and then travel to the less expensive resorts
to spend the rest of their Summer. These resorts are equally good, but
just don’t have as much publicity.
They include Maldonado, Artigas, Rocha and La Paloma.
These resorts contain almost everything Punta del Este has to offer to
tourists, such as great hotels, restaurants, pubs, sporting facilities
and pools, as well as lively nightlife. Due to this all parts of the Uruguayan
Riviera attract large amounts of tourists and the beaches are amongst
the most popular in South America along with those in Rio de Janeiro,
and Florianapolis in neighbouring Brazil.
If looking to have a fun, relaxing holiday Uruguay is
a very good option. This country has a lot to offer to the potential visitor
whether it be the magnificent beaches in Punta del Este and Piriapolis,
the ancient towns and cities in Montevideo and Colonia, or just the pleasant
lifestyle evident throughout the country.
