November - February

This is the warmest and driest time of the year to visit and is perfect for horse riding, wine tasting and visiting the beach. If you’re heading for the coast, November is a great time to visit as it’s much quieter – in December and January make sure you book ahead. February / March is also carnival meaning plenty of festivities across the country.

March - October

From March Uruguay’s autumn begins. However, the sea is generally at its warmest in April and May, making it a good time to visit the beaches. Once the winter months kick in in June (to September) Uruguay is much quieter making it a good time to visit the cities and towns and also to spot southern right whales.
