Carmelo
Carmelo
Carmelo is a hidden treasure on Uruguay's western coast. This small town on the banks of the Río de la Plata offers a perfect escape from the hustle of city life. With its cobblestone streets and charming colonial buildings, Carmelo feels like stepping back in time.
The surrounding countryside is dotted with vineyards, making it a great spot for wine lovers. You can spend your days touring local wineries, sipping on tannat - Uruguay's signature grape variety. The laid-back vibe here is contagious, encouraging you to slow down and savor each moment.
For outdoor enthusiasts, there's plenty to do. Rent a bike and explore the quiet rural roads, or take a boat trip along the river to spot local wildlife. The beaches here might not be as famous as those in Punta del Este, but they offer a more peaceful alternative for sunbathing and swimming.
As the sun sets, grab a seat at one of the riverside restaurants. Enjoy fresh fish while watching the sky turn shades of pink and orange. Carmelo may be small, but it packs a big punch when it comes to charm and relaxation. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
