As we’ve talked about, 2007 was the busiest year for tourism since 1996. (This is info we got from Telemondo.)
This year at our sister site, Coastal Uruguay, traffic is heavy on the Rental Page, 30 - 50 unique visitors per day. Piriapolis bookings and rental inquiries are above last year at this time by a wide margin.
This is coming to your attention because high season bookings are well underway. This is a good time to make your reservation.
In addition, airfares are still reasonable! We recently booked a direct flight from Miami to Montevideo for about $1,075 - about 25 more than last year at this time. We noticed in 2007 that people who waited until October to book their high season flights paid around $500 more than we did. As I said, make your move soon.
In case you’re wondering what are good months to visit, here’s my take. There are several great months besides January (high, high season.) To me, December, March and April are the best months of the year. We’re happy to report that March and April were fully booked for several of us here in town last year. Also note that November has some very nice weather as well. Windbreakers are needed a few days of the month, but I’ve burned my hide off in November. (May has some decent weather for that matter.)
And don’t forget, prices are better during the other four ideal months here on the Coast.
February which is Carnival month, is a good high season bet because prices are very reasonable compared with January.
Stay Tuned!
