Preparing for the trip

There are also no compulsory vaccination requirements for entering the country. However, it is recommended hepatitis A and B, tetanus, and typhoid fever as a precaution. If wild animals are on the list of plans for your journey, you should consider getting a rabies vaccination as well.

Transportation and travel charges

There are numerous public transport options available in Uruguay. Local railway network is particularly well-developed and consists of almost 9000 km of train tracks, allowing easy and rapid travels across the entire country area. However, some local roads are not paved and may cause discomfort while driving. You may always choose taxi services instead: usually you will pay 0.60 euro for a one kilometre taxi ride, while one litre of gasoline costs 1.25 euro in Uruguay.

You can pay for your purchases using the official local currency, the Uruguayan peso (UYU). One euro is equal to 35 pesos. The standard of living in Uruguay is slightly higher than in Lithuania. For example, you can have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 9 euros and buy a cappuccino for about 2.26 euro. In local shops, a 1.5 litre water bottle will cost you 1 euro.
