AG 2 would be the travel from east to west but I havent decided the route

Are the stars on your map tourist attractions?

Have you already been to the Iguazu falls of what?

I don't know about you, but I hate long bus rides. Consider stopping somewhere between Buenos Aires and Mendoza to get some sleep.

Buquebus is ez pz. You get to the terminal and wait for the ferry. Ferry gets you yo Colonia and then a bus gets you to Montevideo. Colonia is a pretty chill city. Really small and comfy as Fuck.

Montevideo, really dirty city buy pretty modernized when it comes to computers Internet and free WiFi. Wouldn't mind guiding you through it, I've already done it before with other people.

Now for salto, can't really tell, never went to Argentina that way. Salto is pretty well known for their oranges so you might want to try some.

I'm currently at work right now, but leave me as many questions about Uruguay as you want and I'll try to answer them all.

I think i have read your coments in somebody's thread asking for punta del diablo-cabo polonio.
I will be entering UY in salto and leaving from colonia del sacramento to Buenos Aires.

Few things I want to ask about UY:
In the north (Salto,Tacuarembo and Melo) is it really safe to do hitchhiking? also to go from salto to Tacuarembo my options are route 3+26 or route 31,because I want to visit the meseta de Artigas does it worth to go there and back to salto to take route 31 or should I take someting from meseta de Artigas to Tacuarembo? pic related.ty for awnsering my thread

I'll answer you tomorrow after I wake up. I'll go to the gym and research a little bit about it as I wanna be sure about a few points I wanna make about those places.

For instance, Uruguay is overall a pretty safe country, although you can always find a few freaks out there ready to do stupid things, but you should be fine, specially because you speak Spanish, that should make the trip extremely easy.

You should also know that in Salto you have the pretty well known termas(hot springs oriented as small waterparks). This might come handy as you can pay a day fee and relax in hot water before continuing on your trip.

And the last thing I want to say before going to sleep: yes, I'm probably the one who helped someone asking about Punta del diablo. I'm always trying to help out people when it comes to Uruguay/Argentina.

Now, I've already asked a few friends that did some backpacking earlier this year and I feel way better to answer your question.

From salto to Paysandú(Meseta de artigas) it should be fairly easy to hitchhike. Now, as I feared, getting to Tacuarembó hitchhiking won't be that easy. From my friends experience, it was a real pain in the Ass and they had to walk a big(relatively) part of the way before getting someone friendly enough to pick them up.

Prices to get a round trip Paysandú - Tacuarembó and Tacuarembó - Paysandú will probably be around $800 (usd 28), pretty expensive but it's up to you and how much time do wish to spend.

If you still want to get there hitchhiking, route 31 should be easier than 26.

For safety, as I said before, you should be pretty fine as long as your are not an idiot. People in towns should be friendly enough to help you with indications and other kind of things. Just remember people there have a really different accent from Montevideo/Buenos Aires and use some local words that don't really exist.

My friends perspective on this point is that they were never threatened while backpacking in Uruguay and it is should come as a pretty chill experience. They actually got robbed once they arrived Buenos Aires.

Can't check spelling/sentence structure right now because I'm in a hurry, but hopefully it is still readable.
