Trip to Montevideo

I am planning a trip to Montevideo in February/March. I love different and off the beaten track places. Do you have any suggestions of what to do (and what not to do) in Montevideo? Also any suggestions for places I should visit near Montevideo? All tips are really welcome. Thanks!

Book a flight form Caracas to Ciudad Bolivar directly at the airport

Hi there

There are a lot of questions around this topic, but none really answers the question:
Can you just go to the airport and buy a flight ticket for the same day? Or do I need to book in advance? I arrive by bus at 8 AM from Columbia. I don't wanna book online, by credit card, because of the bad exchange rate (if booking online is even possible)

Thanks for your help

Cheers,
Michael

Looking for good travel agent

I will be traveling to Brazil in Feb. I know it is high season. Would like to find a good travel agent to help with lodging in Rio for a few days during Carnival and assistance with other accomodations after that. Plan to travel up the coast and then on to Manus for a river trip. I know it is late for Rio but hoping for a few nights there before moving on. Can anyone recommend an agent they have worked with?

How to enjoy my husband's business trip to Salvador, Bahia?

Hi everyone! I have been researching my upcoming trip to Salvador on this forum, and finding tons of great advice. I have some questions about the conference center area and public transportation in Bahia. I am accompanying my husband on a business trip to Salvador, Bahia.

Please keep in mind that we are peso-earning Argentinians, and have almost zero access to reales, so we need to be as thrifty as possible, taking public transit, eating street food, ect.

We will be in Salvador for 10 days, the company has booked us a room at the Bahia Fiesta Hotel, on Avenida Antonio Carlos Magalhaes 711, near the conference center. The hotel looks very far away from Pelourinho and other historical areas or beach areas that I would like to visit. What would be the best way to travel from the hotel to these areas? Is there any public transportation?

Where to meet in Quito Airport??

Hi,
So, this is my first trip to Ecuador, and I am flying into UIO late night, I am meeting a friend who is flying in on a different airline a few hours after me, from there we will be bussing it to a hostel together.

Itaunas / end of november / HOW is it like?

Hello guys,
I am in Rio, heading north to Salvador and stopping on the way.
I was thinking about stopping in Itaunas.
But how is it like when there is no music festival?
I'm a women and I'm traveling alone and I'm wondering about how it's going to be there at this time of the year... Will I meet people or wil it be dead and super quite?
Any advice for a place to stay? cheap... ;-)
Also is it safe to walk around alone on the beach/dunes
Thanks for you feedback.

Getting in

Hi,
I intend to travel through the americas, and I will take Buenos Aires as a starting point. So I will fly to Buenos Aires, but I've been wondering if it'll be a problem if I have no proof that I will also get out of the country at some point. A retour ticket, for instance, implies going out of the country at a certain date, but obviously, I won't have one of those.

Is there anyone here with experience about flying into Argentina on a single trip. Could there be problems with me not being able to show some proof of leaving the country?
