Message to U.S. Citizens:  Travel Advisory Change for Uruguay
August 2, 2019

The U.S. Embassy advises U.S. citizens that the U.S. Department of State has raised Uruguay’s Travel Advisory from Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions to Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution due to crime.

The U.S. Department of State has no greater responsibility than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas.  We are committed to providing U.S. citizens with clear, timely, and reliable information about every country in the world so they can make informed travel decisions.

The U.S. Department of State adjusted the level of advice for Uruguay to reflect more accurately the security concerns due to crime.  The full Travel Advisory is available on Uruguay’s Country Information page on Travel.State.Gov:  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Uruguay.html.
