# Who's cycled Uruguay

A library of first-hand accounts — blogs, videos, journals and forums from cyclists who crossed Uruguay by bike, from more than fifteen nationalities and across three decades.

Crossing Uruguay by bike is not a new idea: someone rode through in 1991 with a hip pack for all their luggage, and someone else uploaded their journal last week.

This library gathers first-hand accounts scattered across the web — blogs, videos, travel journals and forums — from more than fifteen nationalities, in nine languages, across three decades. Each entry links to the original and to a screenshot of the page, in case the original ever goes offline.

Read together, the journeys sketch a country. The Atlantic coast — from Chuy to Montevideo through Rocha — is the most-documented corridor, ridden above all by Brazilians who cross at the border and follow the sea south. The west is reached differently: the ferry to Colonia, Carmelo, the bridges over the Uruguay River. And the interior — the northern departments, the four- and six-thousand-kilometer routes deep inland — is told by Uruguayans and foreign riders alike. The same themes return: the wind as a constant adversary, the unexpected courtesy of passing drivers, the endless plain, the mate that appears at every stop.

Anyone who'd rather have company will find [guided outings](https://pedaleando-uruguay.bike/community/operators) around Montevideo and along the coast with the local bike-tour operators.

The full table follows, searchable by country, language, year or depth.

Confirmed title via search snippet: 'Cycling tour along the coast of Uruguay, a great...'. Creator and full content unknown. Depth note Facebook login wall prevents full content access.

Practical depth (packing, logistics, camping, weather) from an Argentine couple who cycled extensively through UY. Paired with the narrative day-by-day post.
- [Uruguay – pedaleo vs calor (round 1)↗](https://deviajealmundo.com/uruguay-pedaleo-vs-calor-round-1/) — Lechu Villalba & Nico González, 2016. Route Gualeguaychú (AR) → bridge crossing → Carmelo; ~80 km pedaled in ~10 days due to extreme heat and illness Notes Hitchhiked bridge (cyclists prohibited); extreme summer heat severely limited cycling; Carmelo camping options (free vs 321 pesos/carpa); currency exchange notes; 'Uruguay está caro'; honest account of heat exhaustion and intestinal illness forcing route modifications. Jan 2016. Depth note Entry-into-Uruguay narrative, mostly covers Carmelo beach camping during heat/illness. Limited route cycling depth but valuable for authentic challenges (heat, logistics, cost) and the AR→UY bridge crossing. Companion to the main guide.
- [Guía para una escapada por la Costa Uruguaya en bicicleta: Carmelo a Colonia del Sacramento↗](https://lavidadeviaje.com/guia-para-una-escapada-por-la-costa-uruguaya-carmelo-colonia-del-sacramento/) — Jime Sánchez & Andrés Calla, 2014. Route Carmelo → Colonia del Sacramento (77 km one-way via Route 21, 154 km round trip); return via rural coastal dirt road; 6 days; Aug 2014 Notes Route 21 with paved shoulders throughout; rural return becomes unpaved huella (impassable after rain); low-budget camping (free in low season); Cacciola ferry from BA carries bikes at no extra charge; beginner-friendly minimal elevation; tourism office info unreliable for the alternative route. Depth note Detailed first-person 6-day account with practical logistics: paved vs dirt route options, camping costs, ferry logistics, seasonal recommendations. Published as a guide from direct experience. Strong for the Carmelo–Colonia western corridor, underrepresented in the database.
- [Uruguay en Bicicleta – 20kmpordia↗](https://www.20kmpordia.com/uruguayenbicicleta/) — Unknown (Uruguayan couple), 2016–ongoing. Route All 19 departments of Uruguay; 14 departmental capitals; ~4,500 km planned; secondary roads; zero paid accommodation Notes Uruguayan-authored hub for a nationwide cycling project; 6,000 km total in 317 days across the full country; low-budget style (no accommodation costs, no paid water); welcomed into homes throughout; secondary unpaved roads prioritized over main highways. Site 403'd on direct fetch — confirmed live via search. Depth note STANDOUT: one of the few Uruguayan-authored accounts of a systematic full-country bicycle tour. 6,000 km through all 19 departments is exceptional scope. Secondary-road focus gives unique perspective absent from coastal-only foreign accounts. 403 on fetch — content confirmed richly via search snippets and metadata.

Route All departments including Artigas, Rivera, Tacuarembó, Durazno; Corredor de los Pájaros Pintados; 4,000+ km total; started March 2020 (interrupted by pandemic, then resumed) Notes Minimal elevation changes across Uruguay; settlements within 30 km intervals; strong southern winds as key challenge; pandemic closed campings forcing improvisation; summer ideal for eastern coast with undiscovered beaches; YouTube channel 'Deaculla' documents the journey. Depth note STANDOUT: Uruguayan couple documenting a comprehensive full-country tour covering northern departments (Artigas, Rivera, Tacuarembó) rarely covered in other accounts. Published on portalesdeluruguay.com.uy (Uruguayan tourism portal). Interior-route depth and pandemic-era continuity make this exceptional. YouTube companion channel 'Deaculla'.

Published 2022. Depth note Community feature on a growing Uruguayan cycling collective. Rich on local cycling culture and community organization. Routes limited (MVD–Piriápolis corridor primarily).

Route Manguera de los Artigas, Casupá, Florida department; gathering point for touring cyclists from across Uruguay Notes First ENCU (Encuentro Nacional de Cicloviajeros Uruguayos); 100+ camped; horizontal/collective organization; yoga, swimming, music, campfires; strong community solidarity; second ENCU announced for Oct 2022 at Camping Arequita, Lavalleja with MVD→Arequita route (50–81 km/day). Historic moment for UY cycling community. Depth note Community event chronicle rather than a touring account. Strong for local cycling culture context — the first national cicloviajero gathering in Uruguay. Florida department (Casupá) highlighted. Useful framing for the 'growing community' editorial angle.

Uruguayan author on a Spanish platform. Depth note First-person Uruguayan coastal account covering the full Colonia→Chuy corridor and return. Honest on difficulty and weather-forced hitchhiking. Posted on Spanish cycling community rodadas.net. Moderate practical depth.

Community-validated route advice. Depth note Spanish-language TripAdvisor thread with practical community advice on the classic MVD→Rocha coastal route. Multiple nationalities. No single firsthand account, but aggregated wisdom useful for logistics angle. Companion to the Buquebus-logistics threads already in the database.
- [VIAJE A URUGUAY EN BICICLETA – mtb.uy foro↗](https://mtb.uy/temas/viaje-a-uruguay-en-bicicleta.620/) — 2011.

Route Hostal Che Lagarto → Parque Rodó → Rambla toward Plaza Los Pocitos and back; ~2-hour urban loop Notes Rented bikes at Hostal Che Lagarto; Rambla described as wide with river views; return route uphill back toward 18 de Julio area; pedestrians, skaters, cyclists coexist on the Rambla. Trip from May 2015 published Jan 2022. Depth note Short tourist-perspective urban day ride on the Rambla and Parque Rodó. Uruguayan author but visitor framing. No touring content — confined to a 2-hour recreational loop. Low cycling depth; minor value for Rambla infrastructure angle.
- [Viajando en bicicleta por Colonia del Sacramento↗](https://ciclomag.com/2015/viajando-en-bicicleta-por-colonia-del-sacramento/) — CicloMag (admin), 2015. Route Colonia del Sacramento urban exploration by rental bike; no specific route distances given Notes Brief advocacy piece for renting bikes to explore Colonia; UNESCO heritage city framing; promotes urban cycling as a discovery mode; references a Uruguay Natural promotional video. No route details, infrastructure notes, or distances provided. Depth note Thin editorial piece on urban cycling in Colonia del Sacramento — more advocacy than report. No firsthand touring content, no route data, no practical logistics. Minimal value beyond the Colonia destination angle.
- [Colonia→Carmelo→Colonia – bttbike foro relato↗](https://www.bttbike.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=1301) — juanmanuel86run & spouse, 2011.

Depth note Planning thread with a brief embedded trip report (ARIELENBICI's March 2011 coast ride). Lower detail than the dedicated trip-report threads. Useful as a logistics reference for the Buquebus → coastal corridor entry point question.
- [Costa Uruguay con carrito – bttbike foro↗](https://www.bttbike.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=366) — lukitas_phhc (19, with friend); cacopatane (experienced respondent), 2012.

Depth note Blog title implies Uruguay content but the journey is a world tour arriving in Uruguay as the endpoint, not a cycling tour within Uruguay. UY appears only as destination/homecoming. Very low UY-specific cycling depth. Notable as a Uruguayan cyclist's global epic.

Route Vague references to Carmelo→Santa Teresa corridor; Salto del Penitente in Lavalleja; arroyo pando circuits; outsources actual routes to Wikiloc Notes Published Apr 4, 2022 by Trinx (Chinese bicycle brand with Uruguayan distribution). Thin editorial content — routes redirected to Wikiloc community platform. Mentions trails classified by department. No original route data. Depth note Brand marketing page from Trinx Uruguay that defers actual route content to Wikiloc. Minimal independent cycling guidance. Some value as a pointer to department-by-department route organization but no original depth.

Genuine beginner-friendly framing but no firsthand narrative or route specifics beyond the Carmelo→Santa Teresa reference. Low depth; some value for the 'why cycle Uruguay' framing.

Redirects to @mirador.ink Medium — same article. Depth note First-trip narrative focused on preparation and beginner logistics rather than route conditions.

Dec 2015.

Covers Ruta 09 → Garzón stretch in early winter (low-season conditions). Strong humanist voice; useful for editorial angle on cycling hospitality culture.

Moderate depth as one episode in a series; social/cultural angle on language barrier.
- [2ª TEMPORADA | URUGUAI | VIAGEM DE BICICLETA↗](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1K5mxKYdJYYYoxxxs2-1fJOqtL65brGP) — Luíd & Stefane (Turismo Pé-de-Chinelo channel).

Depth note Distinct from the majority of Chuí-start accounts: documents the Uruguay→Argentina exit by bike. The Colonia del Sacramento leg and Buquebus crossing perspective adds value for the western-exit corridor. Creator unknown; depth unverifiable without watching.

Depth note Notable for its Jaguarão border entry (not Chuí) and its inland loop — extends beyond the classic coastal corridor to Colonia del Sacramento and the Uruguayan interior. 24-day solo journey with daily posts. Ecology/anthropology framing gives distinctive perspective. Paulo Petry is an experienced multi-trip cyclist.
- [A Tal Viagem de Bicicleta↗](https://atalviagemdebicicleta.wordpress.com/) — Ana & Ernesto, 2014–2015.

Depth note Rio de Janeiro departure makes this a genuinely long-range coastal journey reaching Uruguay after months on the road. Uruguay leg covers Rocha and Maldonado departments (Punta del Diablo → Valizas → La Paloma → Colonia). Social tone — community encounters, local hospitality, summer cyclist density. MVD artists' house stay adds cultural texture.
- [Itinéraire à vélo en Uruguay↗](https://foudunmonde.wordpress.com/2025/03/04/itineraire-a-velo-en-uruguay/) — Estelle & partner (Fou d'un monde), 2025.

Depth note STANDOUT for FR batch: recent (Jan–Mar 2025), comprehensive dual itinerary covering both the classic coast and the lesser-documented thermal-spring interior. 1,521 km / 23 cycling days is significant coverage.

Published Jan 2014. Depth note Honest but thin UY account within a world tour; bus taken to Colonia (skipping a cycling leg). Warmshowers network and Carnival culture documented. No detailed route data. Flat-terrain monotony note is a notable counterpoint to more enthusiastic accounts.

Route Buenos Aires (ferry) → Colonia del Sacramento → Montevideo (185 km) → interior village of Montes → northward toward Brazil; gravelly interior roads and farmland Notes Published in Vélo Mag (Mar 2020); calls Uruguay 'the best SA country for introducing yourself to cycle touring'; flat terrain, welcoming locals, quality roads, wild camping; Montes village MTB club (annual race 300–400 riders in a 2,000-person town); invited to present at local primary school; gaucho culture and maté observed. Depth note STANDOUT for FR batch: journalist quality, published in Vélo Mag (major FR/QC cycling magazine). Interior Uruguay route via Montes village is distinct from the coastal-heavy majority of accounts. MTB club encounter at Montes is a memorable specific detail. 2019 trip / Mar 2020 publication.

One of the earlier FR accounts (2009). Depth note UY is one chapter in a 7-country 7,000 km tour. Notable details: local media surprise at cycle tourists in 2009 (rarity indicator), La Pedrera extended stay. Earlier historical account. Blog likely has dedicated UY posts within the archive beyond what the homepage reveals.

Detailed enough to serve as a planning reference.
- [Uruguay – Radreise-Wiki↗](https://radreise-wiki.de/Uruguay). Route All roads passable by bike; Atlantic coast and thermal-spring river routes (Salto, Paysandú) most popular; Salto–Chuy corridor heaviest truck traffic Notes All roads passable; main roads asphalted, secondary gravel; straight rolling roads create cumulative elevation; no roadside shade (trees cleared) + wind + humidity make cycling harder than it looks; wild camping technically prohibited but tolerated; municipal campgrounds often free/cheap; bike shops in provincial capitals; English limited to Colonia/Punta del Este; supermarkets open late (~22:00). Depth note Community-aggregated DE-language wiki covering all practical UY cycling aspects. No firsthand narrative but synthesizes multiple tourers' experience.

Route Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay loop; ~2,300+ km; Taim protected area (BR), Iguazu Falls, Jesuit Missions (AR/BR); route structure unclear without full fetch Notes Multi-country loop with Italian immigration heritage theme; visited San Rafael Foundation in Asunción (Fr. Aldo Trento humanitarian work); Taim protected area (unique ecosystem, southern Brazil/UY border zone); Iguazu and Jesuit Missions as cultural anchors; unconventional and remote routing. 403 on direct fetch — confirmed via Bikeitalia index and search. Depth note Uruguay is one of four countries on a ~2,300 km loop; route structure and specific UY itinerary not extractable from search metadata alone (403 on direct fetch). Taim protected area straddles the BR/UY border and may include UY coastal cycling. Italian-immigration framing gives cultural distinctiveness. Moderate confidence on depth.
- [Fietsen Uruguay – Wim Leeuw dagboek↗](http://www.wimleeuw.nl/php/dagboek.php?lend=uruguay) — Wim Leeuw, 2019. Route Solo Uruguay cycling diary; route between Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo documented; rolling hills throughout Notes Chose Uruguay seeking a flat, safe, unusual, warm country; found it 'most European-like SA country' per guidebooks but actually rolling (not flat); diary entries begin Jan 30, 2019. Site returns TLS certificate error on direct fetch — confirmed live via search index. Depth note Solo NL cycling diary of a dedicated Uruguay trip. Rolling terrain surprise (expected flat). TLS error prevents direct fetch — route specifics beyond Colonia→Montevideo corridor not confirmed. Confirmed live via search with trip year 2019. Moderate depth inferred from dedicated single-country format.

Part 12 of a 52-country world tour gives rich comparative framing. Note: sweep-raw described a 2015 Ushuaia→Atacames trip; the live URL now shows 2026 Part 12 content with genuine fresh Uruguay cycling.

Route AR/UY border (bridge) → Colonia del Sacramento → Montevideo; ~430 km / 4 days; Aug 2022 Notes Border bridge prohibited for bicycles — hitched across with truck driver; rough road surfaces noted; private farmland made wild camping difficult; camped on riverbbanks; Southern Hemisphere sky (Scorpius, Orion) as memorable detail; Uruguay contrasted with Argentina's economic collapse (welfare state, Mujica philosophy, 97% renewable energy, 61 kg beef/person/year); Colonia del Sacramento's 17th-c mixed European architecture. Depth note Concise but substantive Japanese-language cycling account with genuine route detail (Colonia→MVD, ~430 km/4 days), practical obstacle (bridge prohibition + truck hitch), and culturally rich framing (Mujica, welfare state, energy).

Site returns ECONNREFUSED on direct fetch — confirmed via search including trip stats, country list, and Argentina→Uruguay narrative fragment. Depth note Uruguay is one of 10 countries in a 540-day SA expedition. Dedicated UY stage content not extractable from the hub page (ECONNREFUSED). The Argentina→Uruguay transition is the one confirmed UY narrative fragment from search metadata. Blog likely has individual stage posts with more UY detail, but these are not the validated URL. Kept per long-trans-SA rule: UY was genuinely reached and ridden.
- [Cycling Uruguay — Rollin Dawgies↗](https://rollindawgies.travellerspoint.com/) — DeputyDawg (Rand) & Mad Dawg, 2007. Route Colonia del Sacramento → Colonia Suiza (60 km) → Montevideo (125 km) → Piriápolis (125 km) → Punta del Este (40 km) → Cabo Polonio (bus 20 km, then bike) → Punta del Diablo (60 km); ~8 days; Feb 2007 Notes Practical per-segment ratings (road quality 2-3, scenery 2-4, difficulty 1-2 on 4-point scale); 6th major cycling expedition for the couple; Uruguayan hospitality rated as best of all countries cycled; landscape described as Midwest-like agricultural with palm trees; Carnival celebrations encountered on day 5 (Piriápolis area); bus required for Cabo Polonio dune access; day-by-day format with accommodation reviews (US$26–US$80 range). Hosted on Travellerspoint. Depth note Day-by-day firsthand account covering classic coastal corridor Colonia→Punta del Diablo in Feb 2007 with structured per-segment ratings. More structured than a typical narrative — road quality, scenery, difficulty scores give planners actionable data. US perspective on Uruguay cycling is underrepresented; adds a pre-2010 EN account of the corridor. Individual post URLs: /13/ (overview), /12/ (Colonia→Suiza), /11/ (Suiza→MVD), /10/ (Carnival ride), /9/ (PdE), /8/ (bohemian scene/coast), /7/ (Punta del Diablo).

Depth note Detailed 2-day firsthand account of the Montevideo→Colonia del Sacramento corridor traveling east-to-west. Most other accounts run Colonia→MVD (arriving in Uruguay); this reversal (MVD→Colonia) is underrepresented and gives a different experience of Ruta 1's wind and grade. Specific intermediate towns documented (Libertad, Rafael Perazza, Ecilda Paullier) rarely named in other accounts. Wikiloc maps make it a practical planning reference. Argentine author; long-running cicloturismo blog also covering Cuba, Tandil, Bariloche.

Depth note STANDOUT: covers northern and western interior departments (Río Negro, Paysandú, Soriano, Durazno) that are almost entirely absent from the existing database, which skews heavily coastal. Pia and Mathias are local Uruguayan cyclists whose account reads as community anthropology as much as touring diary. The sociological framing (rural decline, infrastructure gaps) distinguishes it from every other record. San Javier (Russian colony), San Gregorio de Polanco, Blanquillo — specific towns absent from other accounts. Published on Revista Cicloviaje (ES cicloturismo magazine platform).
- [Cicloturismo en Uruguay: un nuevo circuito Colonia - Carmelo↗](https://www.bttbike.com/mtb/8209-uruguay-colonia-circuito-cicloturismo-carmelo) — Anonymous author & 'Beto'. Route Buenos Aires (Puerto Madero ferry) → Colonia del Sacramento → Riachuelo (13 km) → Conchillas (54 km via Ruta 21) → Carmelo (53 km via Ruta 21) → estancias area (Zagarzazú, Estancia de Narvona, Punta Gorda) → Carmelo → ferry to Tigre; ~282 km / 7 days Notes Route via Conchillas (historically significant town near Colonia, 19th-c industrial heritage); Estancia de Narvona and Punta Gorda as rare west-Uruguay touring highlights; Riachuelo and Santa Ana beaches as day-1 stops; natural resources 'almost intact' and short distances make it beginner-friendly; return via Tigre (Cacciola ferry, different from Buquebus Colonia→BA route); published on bttbike.com Argentine cycling community site. Depth note Practical firsthand article documenting the Colonia→Conchillas→Carmelo circuit. Key differentiator from the existing bttbike forum t1301 record (same corridor, shorter trip): this account adds Conchillas (historically underexplored in cycle-touring accounts), the Estancia de Narvona stopover, and the Tigre return. The western Uruguay corridor (Colonia→Carmelo) is underrepresented vs. the coastal majority; this adds an article-format (not forum) account with stronger narrative. Year not specified on article.
