16 Nights Buenos Aires to Santiago

With its population of 1,362,000 Montevideo is home to nearly half of Uruguay's population. The relatively small capital is the nation's only major city, yet visitors come here in search of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis. Montevideanos themselves travel to Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo when they crave big city entertainment. As Uruguay's cultural, political and economic center, the city boasts a good number of monuments, museums and impressive architecture. There are sidewalk cafes, fine restaurants, chic shops, casinos and miles of clean beaches.
