Uruguay Travel Podcast with Lucía Ferreira

Lucía Ferreira

This podcast follows one resident's slow move around Uruguay, from Montevideo to places connected by landscape and history. Travelling here means learning a country of rolling plains and low hills, where most people live in the southern half and nearly half the population clusters around the capital.

The host moves from Montevideo's coastal lowland to the old streets of Colonia del Sacramento, then inland to Tacuarembó and the forested gorge of Quebrada de los Cuervos. Each place reveals a different layer of the same country: port city, river boundary, cattle country, quiet interior.

Uruguay's warm temperate climate means freezing temperatures are almost unknown; seasons arrive as shifts in rainfall, heat and daylight. Over months, the host returns to the same grassy plains and Atlantic coast beaches, letting the slow accumulation of knowing a landscape replace the rush of a single trip.

Lucía Ferreira lives in Uruguay and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Lucía is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.

A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
