The truth is that only by being in Montevideo during January-March you learn the real meaning of the word carnival.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29538 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27524 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27524 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23757 Wonderful service and great contacts for the surrounding areas around the city.

Mixed or female dorms, private singles, doubles or four person share rooms and lovely lounge area surrounded by 16 foot high windows, with a massive hearth and fireplace.

The owners also run a bar, located on the beach just one block from the hostel.

A great place to stopover for a few days en route to Brazil and recharge those backpacker batteries, come rain or shine.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21481 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19733 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19733 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17114 www.asiarooms.com

The city is surrounded by the sea, so it feels like a fresh place to be. There are plenty of things to buy at the Tristan Narvaja flea market on a Sunday and my husband and I also took a days tour of the wineries in the surrounding countryside. The tour was expensive but well worth the money and we had a terrific selection of wines and lunch at a winery called Bouza.

If you have time to wander around the old city its really quite splendid.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13685 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12674 www.travelmusings.net]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12674
