Tour Details

At the designated time, head to the Buquebus terminal in Puerto Madero to set sail on a direct ferry to Uruguay.

After crossing the Rio de la Plata for approximately 2.5 hours, you'll arrive at the port of Montevideo. A pickup will take you to Barrio Sur and Palermo, districts known for Candombe, an Afro-Uruguayan cultural expression.

You will explore the neighborhoods and participate in a Candombe workshop, where you will learn to play various drums to different rhythms.

After the workshop, enjoy a delicious lunch at a central restaurant, including a starter, a main course (meat, fish, or pasta), and dessert.

Following lunch, take a panoramic tour of Montevideo by vehicle to see key sites such as the Obelisk to the Constituents of 1830, Centenario Stadium, the Rambla, and the city's iconic sign. You'll then have about an hour for shopping at a popular center.
