- Montevideo - During the tour, there will be times when you will be transferred from one location to another. Occasionally, a guide will accompany you, sharing insights about the city.
- Plaza Matriz - The first stop is in the historic Old Town, where you can admire stunning colonial-era buildings. The old town is surrounded by Spanish military fortifications, with stone walls marking the boundaries of the fortified San Felipe y Santiago city, protected by the Ciudadela fortress. You can also visit the Solis Theatre, The Cabildo, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Museo Torres Garcia, and other museums. The area is also home to numerous galleries, cafes, and antique shops.

- Mercado Agricola Montevideo - MAM - From the Parliament area, enjoy a scenic ride to Mercado Agricola Montevideo (MAM), one of the last iron-built markets in Montevideo. Originally a modest fruit and vegetable stand in 1913, it has expanded twice into a shopping mall spanning a city block, offering a variety of goods. Today, vendors still sell fresh fruits and vegetables. The building was refurbished in 2006, revitalizing the entire neighborhood.
- Plaza Independencia - Next, visit Plaza Independencia (Independence Square) near the city center. Here, you will see the statue and Mausoleum of General Artigas, a national hero of Uruguay. Also, view the Presidential offices, Palacio Estevez, Palacio Salvo, and the Ciudadela Gate. Continuing, you will see the Parliament Palace, inaugurated in 1925. Its symbolism and neoclassical architectural style represent the country’s democratic values.
- Carreta Monument - The Monumento a la Carreta is a historic artwork located in Montevideo, Uruguay. Sculpted by José Belloni, it was inaugurated on October 14, 1934, in Batlle Park. The work is inspired by gauchos, rural life, and the old cargo transportation methods before the advent of automobiles and railroads.
- Montevideo Letters - Head to the beautiful sands of Pocitos Beach and pose for a photo at the Montevideo sign. Enjoy the picturesque view of Pocitos Bay from here.
- Estadio Centenario - Proceed to Parque Batlle, or Battle Park, where you can stroll through the city’s largest public park and green space. While here, pause at La Carreta, a stunning bronze monument depicting oxen pulling a covered wagon, created in 1934 by Jose Belloni. Nearby, you will also find the famous Estadio Centenario, the soccer stadium inaugurated in 1930 for the World Cup, where Uruguay emerged victorious. On July 18, 1983, FIFA declared it a World Football Historical Monument, the only construction of its kind globally.
- Mercado del Puerto - Stop for a brief visit to the Port Market (Mercado del Puerto) and admire the iron structure built in Liverpool. Currently, this area is one of the city’s most typical gastronomic centers, where locals and visitors can savor delicious Uruguayan meat cooked on large barbecues. Numerous artists perform in the surrounding area, turning the streets into large theaters. Return along the River Plate, enjoying city views back to the port area and your ship.
- Rambla de Montevideo - The Rambla de Montevideo is a 24-kilometer-long avenue that runs along the coast of the Rio de la Plata in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. It serves as both a major vehicular traffic route and a pedestrian promenade. It is bordered by numerous beaches, including Ramírez (Parque Rodó), Pocitos, Buceo, Malvín, and Carrasco. Various geographical features add variety and interest, such as Punta de las Carretas and Isla de las Gaviotas. On weekends, it attracts thousands of people of all ages seeking walks, recreation, and fresh air. In several spots, especially in the Rambla Sur, it is an excellent place for sport fishing. It has yacht moorings in Punta Carretas and Puerto del Buceo. Soccer, cycling, and skateboarding enthusiasts also find it an ideal place for recreation.
