Extraordinary Journeys has added Uruguay to its destinations of specialty in South America. Known for its beach towns, slow travel offerings and culinary depth, Uruguay has long been a favorite holiday destination for South American travelers. It is quickly gaining the attention of North Americans looking for an understated destination full of cultural richness. The addition of Uruguay expands Extraordinary Journeys’ presence in South America, which currently includes Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile, with more destinations to be added this year.
To mark the launch of Uruguay as a new destination in its portfolio, Extraordinary Journeys has crafted four sample itineraries that showcase the destination as a vessel for slow travel, road trips, beach getaways, cultural immersion, culinary adventures and a thriving wine culture.
Here are samples:
