I understand where you're coming from about Uruguay, but I think it’s important to look at things from a different perspective. While it may seem slow-paced or uneventful at first, Uruguay has its own unique charm that’s often overlooked. The country might not have the non-stop energy of bigger cities, but it offers a peaceful, relaxed lifestyle that many people find refreshing. The beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and welcoming people make it a hidden gem. Sure, it might not be as flashy as other destinations, but for those who appreciate simplicity, it’s a wonderful place to visit or live. Thank you for visiting mi gran Uruguay.
@@Daniel-qg4mf saludos thanks for watching. Exactly, the reason why I presented it that way is because there are a lot of people who want that. Hay mucha gente que quiere la tranquilidad y pas. I think one thing I didn’t highlight enough were the people. Uruguayans were very nice and humble. The food was also really good, but pricy lol. Colonia is also a beautiful town. Thanks for watching, bendiciones.
@@Luisjoseglobal the food is pricy compared to ???, here in the U.S. is twice as much, you also need to take into consideration what you ate, if it was beef then you need to realize that you probably ate top quality grass fed beef. Being such a small country they kill us with taxes and import fees and because we are small in population its even worse for Uruguayans
I have the following comments about your video: a. In Mercado del Puerto you walked by all the restaurants at full speed, without slowing down to look at a menu, and incorrectly stated that all they sell is steak and fries. If you had slowed down and looked at the menus, you would have seen that there is a huge variety of cuisines there b. You said that everybody in Montevideo was old, but you were walking around during the daytime on a weekday when many people are either working or in class. The people you saw were either retired or homemakers while their spouses worked. c. You made an incorrect assumption that the weather in Montevideo is much hotter than in Buenos Aires. If you had stopped to think for a minute, you would have realized that you were in Buenos Aires two days earlier, and that the weather actually changes from day to day. Typically, Montevideo is cooler than Buenos Aires.
I've been there before as well as Buenos Aires. You are not wrong in your impression spot on. I wouldn't say the word boring because it's not my style but I would definitely say that it's slow. There's so much modesty in such a beautiful location there's no sense of like arrogance the food is definitely blind I really craved Mexican food when I was down there too much meat and their pizza can't be called pizza
I love the country though I love the spirit and the energy and the fact that they have such a good history of progressive movement so many things to look up you should look it up everyone should look up the history of Uruguay
@@rjhealey I think the people in Uruguay were friendly and more humble than in Argentina. I got lucky and found great places to eat in Montevideo. I had the best lasagna of my life.
@@rjhealey it’s a nice country indeed , and compared to the rest of Latin America it has made incredible achievements, especially many progressive ones.
Buenos Aires is way hotter in the summer. It's just the day. The black people you see in the old city are mostly immigrants from Cuba, DR, Cuba, but Uruguay does have a small afro population. If you venture out into Barrio Sur or Palermo in the evenings, you'll start hearing drums beating. Follow the drums. Uruguay is so underground it looks boring but you have to know where to go.
@@MikeMikeMiker that makes sense. I actually met a Dominican lady who owns a bodega or Kiosko as they call it in Uruguay, that’s my next video lol. I think I should have gave Uruguay more time and been more patient.
@@Luisjoseglobal definitely, too bad you didn't come in February, carnival is a lot of fun, the afro Uruguayan culture in uruguay comes alive, there is close to 200,000 black uruguayans, your video of Montevideo lacks enthusiasm, it shows that you are bored mostly because of what you previously lived in B.A., perhaps you should have contacted a local to show you around perhaps to see things that you might have been interested in.
How can you be bored. You have the internet and all world knowledge at your disposal. Nice weather to hang around outside. I live up north. We are stuck inside most of year. What do you do in your hometown that is so exciting🙂🤔
@@charrua59 hey thanks for watching. True I found amazing restaurants via google in Montevideo. Yeah the weather was excellent. I think it’s because right before I went to Uruguay I was in Buenos Aires so I was used to partying on a Monday, Tuesday and a lot more to do .
@@Luisjoseglobal I get it, Buenos Aires is like NY, not fair that later you come to Montevideo and you compare it. Its all good though, we Uruguayans love our tranquility and peacefulness and we try to make foreigners feel it also, its very chill, slow paced and once you relax and experience this, you learn to appreciate better your surroundings, your friends, your family, that is what makes uruguayans happy, to spend quality time with the people and things we love, we are simple people.
Luis, I get it, you are used to places where people are loud, the noise of the streets, the people playing loud music, yelling. No, in Uruguay we like peace, quiet, being respectful to our fellow neighbors, we like it that way, chill atmosphere, we don't like to stand out in the crowds, we are known for that and we are proud of it, we are not like other latin american countries and that is what makes us unique! Being such a small country with 3.5 million people makes us unique, you can venture to our coasts and find yourself sometimes at a beach where its just you and nature, not having to swim through a crowded environment where people are loud, we love the peacefulness that surrounds us !!
@@marossi0814 hey thanks for watching, Uruguay is the perfect Latin American country for peace and quiet. It’s laidback, calm and low density. Many people want this, so that’s why I said in a good way.
So you judge Uruguay based strictly on the daytime activities and characterize it as boring since it lacks maybe what you're used to in other countries: whores in the street, rampant drug use, deafening music, wanton violence, etc. Yeah it's true safety and health are pretty boring when you're used to garbage societies.
Hey thanks for watching. Uruguay has made many great achievements and it’s a good example in Latin America , and it’s the perfect place for certain people.
Just saying you didn't even discuss the night life at all. Yes it is a great place for us that don't like to live on top of each other with no breathing room. For future reference please take a look at these things before posting a country wide review@Luisjoseglobal
More Latin American countries should be boring. Never understood why the country has a small population. I thought they received many immigrants so you'd think they'd have more than just over 3 million. It's not that small either. It just looks small because of its large neighbours.
@ That’s awesome man. Thanks for watching bro I appreciate it. I loved Paraguay, it was a whole other world very different compared to Argentina and Uruguay. I do miss the meat in Arge and Uruguay, very fresh and pure tasting.
@Luisjoseglobal The meat in Uru and Arg is amazing, but the cuisine can be somewhat boring in general. There has been a lot of immigration to Uruguay from the carribbean and places like Peru and Venezuela, so there's more variety now than years past. The thing with Uruguay is that Montevideo is amazing in December, and then in January, you have to head out to the beaches. Punta del Este is cool but ridiculously expensive. Like Hamptons prices. Punta del Diablo, Cabo Polonio. Those places are special but you have to go in season.
@ I think Argentina had more variety than in Uru, and the portions were way bigger in Argentina which is crazy cause in uru you’re paying more. I’ve seen a lot of people from Cuba and Peru. Uruguay is pretty expensive, probably the most expensive Latam I’ve been to, probably more than Costa Rica. I agree your experience can vary greatly depending on when you go.
Wow. New heights in superficial. Amazing depth. Population 3.5 million. 3.2 million. 3 million. Maybe take some time to dig a tiny bit deeper and do some fricking research before you wander around talking complete bollocks.
@@martinturner1129 hey thank you for watching , the number was pretty close for being off the top of my head. I will take note of that , and go more into detail with the places I go to.
Your personality seems well suited to your impression of Uruguay.

Exactly 😂
Yo visité Uruguay este año, amé cada segundo allí. Y sí, es muy tranquilo, seguro y a veces te asustas porque no hay nadie por las calles.
