Vaccinations Uruguay

Planning a trip to Uruguay soon? Preparing well can help make your holiday enjoyable and safe. It is important to note that visiting Uruguay carries certain health risks, so vaccinations are recommended and may even be mandatory. The vaccinations you will need depend on factors such as the regions you will be visiting and the length of your stay. Simply make an appointment with us to get personalised travel advice.

Uruguay is located on the Atlantic Ocean, and shares borders with Argentina and Brazil. The country has a mild oceanic climate, making it especially pleasant during the summer months, when average temperatures are around 28 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the summer period from December to March is considered the best time to visit. The capital, Montevideo, is home to half of the country's population and serves as the main tourist attraction in Uruguay. Additionally, the Uruguayan coastline draws many visitors from around the globe, while the historic town of Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is also a must-visit.
