Our Story

Urupedia was born from a simple observation: Uruguay is extraordinary, yet remains unknown to most of the world. While Argentina and Brazil dominate South American travel, this small nation—sandwiched between them—offers something unique.

From the cobblestone streets of Colonia del Sacramento to the wild beaches of Cabo Polonio, from the sophisticated cafés of Montevideo to the gaucho traditions of the interior—Uruguay rewards those who take the time to discover it.

We created Urupedia to be the guide we wished existed: comprehensive, honest, and written by people who genuinely love this place.
