Tucked between Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay is blessed with plenty of variety: from sparkling beach resorts and pastoral trails to hundreds of wineries and a thriving art scene. It’s a hideout for illustrious artists and chefs on a search for low-profile living, and the destination of choice for South America’s high society when they’re looking for a local escape.

This tiny country is often overlooked for its larger-than-life neighbors, which is precisely why Butterfield & Robinson say they “love it so much”. The untouched landscapes create the perfect playground to venture off the beaten track in classic B&R style.

For the coming year they introduce travelers to South America’s best-kept secret on their new Uruguay Active trip. Over 7-days, this multi-active adventure takes you along the vineyard-blanketed hills surrounding Montevideo, through eclectic artist’s workshops and to some of the most unique hotels in the world. You’ll paddle between wetlands and calm streams, bike through a private sculpture park and sip wine with local producers in landscapes that can rival Tuscany.

Add secluded beach havens, encounters with local artists and an unparalleled farm-to-table food scene (with a glass of Tannat!), and you’ll be dreaming of your next visit before you’ve returned home.
