📣 Traveler notes
Uruguay is a socially progressive and welcoming destination in South America, located between Argentina and Brazil. As a secular state, its national holidays reflect this cultural backdrop.
- January 1 - New Year's Day
- January 6 - Wise Men's Day
- Carnival (date varies)
- Holy Week (officially Tourism Week)
- April 19 - Landing of the 33 Patriots Day
- When greeting people, kissing on the cheek is common (even among men). When visiting a home, remove your shoes. While punctuality is appreciated, arriving slightly late is generally acceptable. Avoid comparing Uruguay to Argentina, as locals value their unique culture.
