Shoot in Uruguay
This tool aims to present location in Uruguay in the international audiovisual industry players. Through this website is also linked to the national audiovisual sector that wishes to export its services to producers and international projects. Also work with producers of media for specific presentations, relating to a particular project.
The photographs discussed in this site are made in all cases as presenting any location, provided for a visual purpose. It means that their frames and perspectives are regularly sought by producers and directors who want to develop a visual project in Uruguay.
Surprisingly dainty with a population of just 3.5 million, uruguay nonetheless manages to pack a great deal into a small area.
beautiful cities, colonial towns, immaculate beaches and of course their national dish of juicy uruguayan steak. once visited by
only very few, word has got out, and now uruguay has some flourishing internationally-renowned beach resorts offering ideal
locations for overseas homes.
Punta del este, 130km to the east of montevideo, ranks up there with south america’s premier holiday resorts attracting up to
one million visitors each year and has been bestowed with numerous nicknames from ‘the pearl of the atlantic’ and ‘the
hamptons of latin america’ to ‘the st tropez of uruguay’ and even ‘the ibiza of latin america’. sitting on a peninsula that reaches
out into the ocean, separating the surf of the atlantic ocean from the calm waters of rio de la plata, punta del este is an area
of outstanding natural beauty which offers all of the nightlife and all of the tranquillity that you desire.
In the summer time punta del este’s 20 miles of sandy beach turn into a playground for beautiful people, wealthy south
americans and a sprinkling of celebrities. this diverse country represents the best of all worlds. the capital city of montevideo is
like an old-world european city with its kept buildings, fine restaurants, and international ambiance. then contrast that with
punta del este, a world-class beach resort that has been the playground of rich europeans for years. in between you’ll find
colonial cities, miles of rolling pampas where gauchos still manage their herds, and long stretches of near-empty beaches. the
roads are good, too. the 210-mile stretch of coastline between the brazilian border and the uruguayan capital of montevideo is
among the finest in south america, with endless white-sand beaches, lonely stretches of highway where the woods go right to
the water, wildlife preserves, and dazzling resorts.
