📣 Traveler notes
Uruguay is a small, secular, and socially progressive country in South America, located between Argentina and Brazil. While the majority of the population is Catholic, the nation is considered welcoming to LGBTQ+ visitors. Greeting customs often involve a cheek-to-cheek kiss.
- Holy Week is officially observed as 'Tourism Week'.
- National holidays (like New Year's Day) can occur on non-traditional dates.
- The country has several movable national holidays, including Carnival and Wise Men's Day.
- Expect various public celebrations and parades throughout the year.
- Publicly displaying the 'OK' sign (thumb and index finger in a circle) is offensive. Guests should generally remove their shoes when visiting Uruguayan homes. When mentioning the country, avoid comparing it unfavorably to Buenos Aires.
