City overview
Montevideo is South America's most unhurried capital: a low, walkable city wrapped by 22 kilometres of Rambla, where art deco towers, cobbled Ciudad Vieja streets and wide river beaches sit within a few minutes of each other. It is relaxed, safe by regional standards and refreshingly uncrowded. Uruguay's Jewish life is concentrated almost entirely here, clustered in the leafy seaside neighbourhoods of Pocitos and Punta Carretas, where the Chabad House, the Sephardi congregation and the Yavne campus all sit within walking distance of one another and of most kosher dining.
Museo Andes 1972
Montevideo · Charged at the door
A quiet, deeply affecting museum telling the story of the 1972 Andes crash and the survivors, through objects recovered from the fuselage.

Tips
Small, privately run and far more moving than its size suggests. Many of the objects were carried out by the survivors themselves. Enquiries are answered on WhatsApp at +598 9727 1972 or by email at museoandes1972@gmail.com.
