Documentation
British Citizens do not require visas for travel to Uruguay but a full, valid 10 year passport with at least 6 months to run is needed. Other nationals contact the Embassy / consulate: 020 7589 8735 for information.

Climate
Located entirely within the temperate zone, Uruguay has a climate that is fairly uniform. Seasonal variations are pronounced, but extremes in temperature are rare. As would be expected by its abundance of water, high humidity and fog are common and the absence of mountains, which act as weather barriers, makes all locations vulnerable to high winds. July and August tend to be the rainiest months. Most tourists visit during Uruguay's summer months (mid November to March) which is also the high season.
