COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO · CARMELO · MONTEVIDEO · PUNTA DEL ESTE · URUGUAY

Crossing the river and seeing how the weather changes in speed

Four destinations on one coast and four different rhythms. Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture.
Carmelo, among vineyards and the river, where the day is measured in glasses of tannat.
Montevideo, a capital with a bustling human population, with its Old City and its endless promenade.
And Punta del Este, to finish the trip facing the sea.

Each destination has its own rhythm. That is Uruguay.

COLONY OF SACRAMENT · THE EXPERIENCE

The historic center of Colonia: cobblestones and history facing the Río de la Plata

Calle de los Suspiros with its colorful facades and centuries of silent history. The Plaza Mayor under the floss silk trees. The climb to the lighthouse, where the river opens up and Buenos Aires appears merely as a suggestion on the horizon.

There are more bicycles than cars on these streets. The city is measured by that rhythm.

We design that apparent freedom with precision: every stop, every moment of pause, every gastronomic encounter responds to a curatorial intention that remains invisible by design.

THE JOURNEY

The Real de San Carlos Bullring

Historic monument steps from the colonial quarter — a space with architecture from another century that frames any activity with a presence of its own. Colonia's scale is also its strategic advantage for team building programs: a small and concentrated city, where participants move together, discover together, and share on the same level. The territory itself facilitates cohesion.

A city where the architecture is centuries old, silence is part of its magic, and those who wander through it return with the feeling of having been part of something they can only manage to name upon their return.

Sweets of the Colony

Artisan cheeses and local wines

Colonia is also discovered on the table. On the outskirts of the city, La Vigna They produce artisanal cheeses in a rural setting. It is a guesthouse and cheese shop where the group gets to know the process closely and tastes the production in its place of origin.

The experience continues with a wine tasting From the wineries of the region, which today form a unique circuit. Tannat, blends and fresh whites are paired with the cheeses in a simple and authentic pairing that expresses the identity of this land.

CARMELO · URUGUAY

Extension to Carmelo: wine, river and rest

An hour from Colonia, Carmelo is the best-kept secret on the Uruguayan coast. The group has the option of staying at the Carmelo Resort, It is surrounded by forest and facing the river, and offers one of the most memorable experiences of the trip. Bodega Narbona: a tasting followed by a four-course seasonal lunch, paired with its Reserva and Single Vineyard lines.

MONTEVIDEO · URUGUAY

A capital that lives facing the river

Montevideo has the calm of a city that needs no proof of its existence. Facing the river, the promenade stretches for miles along the water, and in it, runners, fishermen, and people sipping mate in the evening mingle. It is a capital on a human scale, with a deep cultural identity and a closeness that is felt from the first day.

— The experience: The capital, at its own pace

We explore the city combining history, architecture and culture: Independence Square at the foot of the Salvo Palace, the Teatro Solís and the streets of the Old City. The tour ends at the Puerto Market, where the group has lunch under its iron structure, among smoking grills and a glass of Uruguayan wine.

— Among the vineyards: Bodega Bouza

Just minutes from the city center, in Melilla, Bodega Bouza opens its doors for a private visit among vineyards and a three-course pairing lunch with its flagship wines, featuring Tannat and Albariño. A meeting with Uruguayan wine without leaving the capital.

— High cuisine

The night in Montevideo is spent at the table. We reserve exclusive spaces for the group in reference restaurants. One is the chef Hugo Soca’s signature cuisine. Another is Quinquela, in the Old City and facing the port, which takes its name from the great painter of the Rio de la Plata ports, Benito Quinquela Martín, and offers Rio de la Plata cuisine in an atmosphere that overlooks the river.

— Tango, candombe and carnival

Montevideo comes late with its own rhythm. Here was born «La Cumparsita», perhaps the most famous tango in the world, and the city shares with Buenos Aires the tango heritage recognized by UNESCO. But its most authentic sound is the candombe: the Afro-Peruvian drums that roam the Sur and Palermo neighborhoods, also a Cultural Intangible Heritage of Humanity. We offer groups drum classes, a dinner show with tango or a visit to the Carnaval Museum to learn about the murga, the soul of the longest carnival in the world.

— Flavors and tradition

The culture of mate, the barbecue and football. The Estadio Centenario, the venue of the first World Cup in 1930, is a visit that excites any group.

 

PUNTA DEL ESTE · URUGUAY

Where the river becomes an ocean

Where the Rio de la Plata ends and the Atlantic begins, Punta del Este brings together what few destinations manage to combine: open beaches, mountain ranges with vineyards, art, and a social life with its own style. It is sophisticated without being solemn. The morning can begin barefoot on the sand and the evening end with a dinner among vineyards.

THE EXPERIENCE

Table with wine glasses and dishes served in front of the vineyards of Bodega Garzón, Uruguay

Wines between the sea and the mountains

A few kilometers from the coast, the hills of Maldonado house some of the most interesting wineries in South America.

In Bodega Garzón, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, Tannat and Albariño are tasted with a view of the hills and the Atlantic air.

In Viña Edén, in the Pueblo Edén hills, the winery integrates itself into the rock and the landscape, offering a more intimate and silent encounter with Uruguayan wine.

We design private tastings, lunches among the vineyards, and exclusive dinners for groups.

THE JOURNEY

Casapueblo, Carlos Páez Vilaró's white building overlooking the sea in Punta Ballena, Punta del Este

Art, landscape and coast

Casapueblo, Carlos Páez Vilaró's habitable work in Punta Ballena at sunset. The Hand at Playa Brava. A boat trip to Lobos Island and its colony of sea lions.

The sculpture park of the Pablo Atchugarry Foundation in El Chorro. And to the east, La Barra, Manantiales and José Ignacio, with its lighthouse and that relaxed style that is now a hallmark of the destination.

LA MOVIDA

Parador Aura on the sand front of the sea in Punta del Este, Uruguay

You live by day and by night

Beach clubs, paradores on the sand, signature restaurants, and a night that moves between La Barra and José Ignacio.

For incentives, it is the ideal setting for a group to celebrate in style and without formality.

Punta del Este has a Convention and Exhibition Center and high-class hotels, so it serves both for congresses and high-level incentives.

In low season, the destination becomes quieter and more exclusive.

Uruguay

History, nature, river and skyline.
Uruguay is being explored slowly.

Meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions
