@@alecapin Como sea, pero me referi a que la Gente decia que no se dice " Factura ", sino Bizcochos...y para mi lo que el tipo, morfaba..No era un Bizcocho... sino una Tortita Dulce o Mazita....Y Vos que sos de Fray Bentos, vecinos de Entre Rios,.. en Entre Rios dicen Factura o Bizcochos ?..
@@sebastianurtiaga9110 perdoná, no te estaba corrigiendo. Estaba solamente mencionando cómo se les llama a las masas en Fray Bentos. Hay mil nombres para todo 😂 No tengo la más pálida idea de cómo se les llama en Gualeguaychú.
I am Brazilian, from Rio....better be extremely careful if your plans include a stop over here....all these villas and aasentamientos are merely kindergarden spots in comparison with Rio's favelas....please do not put your life at risk here....if you go to the right places you will have a glorious experience. Abraços
As an Argentinian born with Uruguayan parents and a raised Australian In Sydney now living in Brisbane .. I must say that your vids are spectacular and it’s something I looked forward to every week .. just awesome Ryan .. Thanj you for sharing your adventure.. Patty is also brilliant 🤩
Uruguayan-Canadian here. I want to congratulate you buddy for your videos. Usually what youtubers do is to show the nice part of places, and it gets really repetitive. You have done a great job showing UY as it is, the good, the bad and the ugly. I know some ppl wont like it but keep doing in the next countries to come. Again, excellent job buddy!
American Uruguayan here. I agree with my neighbor to the north. You've definitely gone off the beaten path. I can't wait to see what Montevideo has in store for you. Personally, I would have started my journey sometime in the Spring to get the most out of Southern South America. Uruguay is a different country with a different vibe during the warmer months.
Hey! Nice video! I'm an argentinian living in Uruguay. I currently live a few blocks away from your AirBnB at the Centro. I strongly recommend you to know Pocitos, Malvin, and Carrasco, you will such a difference there too! Uruguay is an amazing and beautiful country, with very friendly people. If you need something contact me! Enjoy your trip!
8:29 that's an advertisement car. Some people hire cars with speakers on top and the play ads on repeat (like local butchers or local barber shops or local supermarkets with sales going on and things like that)
Mate, I live there, it's my hood. I live with my daughters and my grandma, I'm the son of immigrants and the place you visited has a special magic. That's why we decided to stay here! I would have recommended you come by my place and camp here.
Wow this is a WILD video to watch, that torta frita puesto you bought some from I used to go to nearly every friday after high school, and me and my dad took the car out of that garage to drive to a Salus FC match every weekend during football season. I just felt plain goofy pointing at every place i've been to while watching this video, I barely leave Montevideo
Can't believe the t-shirt for Miss Patty ended up being from Defensor, my team. You should visit the "Parque Rodo" then where "Estadio Luis Franzini", Defensor's field, is located.
Hi! I love your style, but I have to tell you, be careful where you fly that dron. Most places are fine, but the villas or favelas are different. Uruguay is considerd the safest country in south america and one of the safest in latinoamerica next to Costa Rica, but every country has their own dangerous areas that are not to play arround. Even if the worst areas in Uruguay are small and not as dangerous as the ones in other countrys, they can still be dangerous, specially if they see you with expensive stuff. Do not show your dron like that in Brasil, unless you are in very turistic places. Other than that, like I say, I love your style! You will see beautiful but very quiet cost citys once you leave Montevideo, since is not summer. It can get boring if you dont prepare to the idea of very peaceful journey, but if you like that peace, you will enjoy it as uruguayans do haha welcome!
Had us nervous with those drone shots in Cerro lol. Seriously, especially in Montevideo, careful not to "show off" your camera and phone too much or they'll get snatched. Anyway, here we call pastries "bizcochos", I don't think you can go more than 5 blocks without running by a bakery. If you really liked the torta fritas (it's tradition to make them at home when it rains), next time try them with sugar or with dulce de leche. And be sure to stock up on alfajores, especially "Sierra de Minas", those are the best in my opinion. Oh, be mindful that when you get to Punta del Este, prices there will probably be higher than in Montevideo, it's a tourist trap in most areas. Personally, I like Piriapolis a lot more, it's a much more laid back tourist town with some beautiful scenery.
that zone it's not colonial, it's downtown. you can spot tons of colonial hoses here for sure but don't expect the neighboard to be all like that. it's still nice btw, been living here for the last 8 years and I love it.
love your videos mate, you gotta go check the centre. I think El Palacio Legislativo its quite a nice building to watch. It is in the middle of a roundabout and the size its quite enormous compared to the majority of buildings here in uy.
Mate you can take a 40 minute bus from Ciudad Vieja to Carrasco and see the Hotel Carrasco and Arocena. Its a more residencial place and it has a huge beachfront
Hi mate, i’m from colonia del sacramento. Its a beautiful city and a beautiful country in general. Hope you are enjoying (or haved enjoyed) your stay in my country, cheers my friend.
Colonia, fundada por los portugueses, nuestra tía patria, dado la ascendencia que tenemos de ese país. Ahora, es cierto que Uruguay es un país relativamente lindo, aunque el menos agraciado de América en cuanto a belleza paisajística. Muy monótono y homogéneo, y para peor, casi todo alambrado. Digo, basta solo ver como es Guatemala, El Salvador, ni hablar Chile, Argentina, Colombia, para darse cuenta que en al reparto de belleza llegamos tarde, por decirlo de una manera sarcástica. Zafamos un poco con las playas oceánicas y del estuario.
Loved your upbeat video. Colonia is the oldest town in Uruguay (founded by the Portuguese in 1680). You drove through the Old District early in the video; the rest of the city is fairly new. Built in 1909, the Plaza de Toros was meant to be a bullring, they were to have corridas de toros (bullfights) like in Spain. I am not sure it was ever used for its original purpose as bullfights were banned soon afterwards. It stayed empty and deteriorating for nearly a century until it was repurposed to host music shows and sport events. What you drove through coming into Montevideo is not a settlement, a "villa" (the local term is "asentamiento") i.e. irregular dwellings built on public or invaded land. Rather a working class neighbourhood with regular streets, and the houses made of standard materials. But they are dangerous because of drugs and gangs. Good thing that the old lady told you to leave fast. Some of what you filmed with the drone was indeed an asentamiento. Cheers.
Hope you've enjoyed yourself. I can see you're such a happy guy, who doesn't expect too much and therefore, celebrate whatever comes your way. That's nice, dude. You make me see it's just a matter of attitude. Looking forward to your next vid. ✌️ 🇺🇾
Maaaan! Great video! Funny is the fact that you are an Aussie traveling around Uruguay and I’m an Uruguayan dreaming of visiting Australia since I was a kiddo! Enjoy your visit and stay far from zonas rojas mate!😊
Hello. I am from Uruguay. Be careful what some people charge you. We are more good people. But some see you as a foreigner and take advantage. Example, the t-shirt does not cost that price. Take care of yourself in all countries. Here, nor in Argentina, nor other countries nor the United States, it is not Australia. Hug.
Colonia is nice for a day trip - the plaza is looking a LOT nicer than it did when I was there 15 years ago. Remember going up the lighthouse, and what do you think I found, but another Australian? Everywhere, I tell you! Loving the journey, man.
Just saw you on Tiranos Temblad (congrats, you're urugayan famous now) - absolutely love how you are handling this concept. I hope you had a great time in Uruguay and if you're still travelling, buena suerte!
We are from Australia, and did a day trip last November to Colonia from BA. We were driving one of the little electric golf buggies you may have seen whilst you were there which we hired near the port. (closest think to a tuk tuk i have driven) ;) Always looking forward to your updates. Stay safe.
I am amazed with your video, I just came back from visiting Uruguay (I live in Perth now) and my house is just a block away from the Airbnb you stayed in. Great job!
Hola!!! Nueva suscriptora. No, en la plaza de toros nunca hubo espectáculo taurino. Sólo se construyó. Da para rato contarlo pero esto es sólo para comentártelo. Bienvenido!!!
That tuk tuk is an Indian invention from an auto company named Bajaj located in Pune city. We call it auto rickshaw or simply auto. Mostly used for passenger commutes😂 We have thousands here plying on local roads. Saw it first time outside India and that too in Latam❤
🙋🤗 Hola, vas a tener que probar el Chivito Uruguayo, antes de irte del país. Y visitar el Mercado del Puerto, para comer los mejores asados, con carne esquicita. 🤗🇺🇾 Buen viaje por nuestro país.
Hi Ryan !! Very, Very good what you are doing, we really like all the episodes, but this time we don't like the title you wrote in this one. We are Uruguayans from Cerro de Montevideo , and we live in Queensland Sunshine Coast, we don't think it's good that you refer to our neighbours like that, don't take it the wrong way ,but we had to tell you. We wish you all the best and that you continue your safe journey with Patti, Kindest Regards Maria y Luis 🤗
Che Maria Mercedes, yo estoy como Vos, en Australia..pero hace rato... y como 30 pirulos atras, el Cerro era mas tranqui....pero juna las noticias , en el Cerro Norte , todos los dias hay balaceras y boletas....por ende el Flaco, no estaba tan mal , con lo que dijo... Zona Roja
Muy buen video! claramente no es el barrio más peligroso pero si es peligroso especialmente como dijiste de noche, espero puedas visitar lugares más lindos de Uruguay. Abrazo!
Duuuuuuude! You are in one piece just because. That area is crazy insecure. Also, the downtown place (Uruguay with Tacuarembó) where you slept is not that bad, but unsafe too. I guess when they see you with the Tuk they imagine there is nothing to rob there. :)
Estimado hermano Australiano bien venido a mi querido Uruguay,lastima que no tuviste un guia turistico o mas programado tu tur conciderando que mi pais es pequeño y te podias aver llevado experiencias recomendables para otra vicita y con familia y o amigos. Un Uruguayo que ama Autralia y que agradece la ospitalidad de su pais para compatriotas que viven en Sydney.
We call villas "cantegril" or "cante" for short, but the correct name is "asentamientos" (literally translated to "settlement", short for "illegal settlement"). they started forming in the 90s and grew because of the 2001 crisis. back then, our main business partner was argentina so when they had a crisis in 2000 we suffered it as well. nowadays it's different, from that experience we started trading with other countries, now we export to china the most, then brazil, then europe. unfortunately cantes are established and though smaller than before, there is a lot more homeless people since 2020.. btw the colombian girls who sold you the torta fritas are awesome!
Bienvenido la gente en Uruguay es muy amable y le gusta que el turista se sienta comodo en el país. No te dejes llevar por gente que quiere imponer el miedo, en Uruguay la gente es buena
Lo mejor de Uruguay es la gente pero ten cuidado que en los últimos años, en algunas zonas de Montevideo, se ha vuelto todo muy violento. Pero cuando encuentres los lugares adecuados en Uruguay vas a aorender un montón de nuestras cualidades como sociedad.
@@sebastianurtiaga9110 a menos que se hayan porteñizado, cosa que pasa con los que consumen cumbia villera, acá son cantegriles. O si queres ser amable decis "asentamientos"
@@uzesamaX Mas alla de lo de Cumbia Villera,..El Loco andaba por el Cerro, y a lo/as del Cerro siempre se les llamo Villero/as...antes de que la Cumbia llegara
Ahhh, there she is! The Tuk Tuk of your dreams. It was red with locking doors and windows for security and protection against the elements. Of course yours will have four doors for Patti and convenience right. Wait till you get back to the Bolivia area and you will see them everywhere!
Can't wait for you to get to Costa Rica! Good luck on your trip legend! When you cross the border from Panama to Costa Rica, if you drive to the caribbean coast you will find our Tuk Tuk town: Puerto Viejo. There are beautiful beaches, a great vibe and you will find a lot of tuk tuks as they are used as short distance taxis!
You are getting some things wrong... these arent all "villas", and not all houses are "asentamientos" or "cantegril" (despectively). Some are humble "barrios" thats quite a distinction and there's an honor and dignity in it, that fails to be captured. I believe you are well-intended and you are not to blame because there was little time for footage or getting to know it while under pressure by the dangerous of the unknown. Later the men going through trash aren't mostly "cartoneros" looking for cardboard, but most of them are mentally ill. Pasta base addicts, alcoholics, people kicked-off by the family for being violent or unruly. I appreciate you reaching this piece of world over here and seeing you enjoy the parts that you did like.
It's true what you say, but it's not difficult for a foreigner to make that mistake if people from Pocitos or Punta Carretas is making the same mistake .. as for the "recicladores" (a euphemism for people searching the trash for something to eat or sell), I guess there is everything, people "hecha bosta" (local expression that literally equates the situation and the context with the manure) by drugs or mental problems, and people"hecha bosta" by poverty ..
Error no tuvo ninguno. Creo que padeces de ignorancia fruto de uruguayitis crónica. No entendés la semántica y los conceptos. Conceptualmente no le erró en nada. Villa es lo mismo que barrio humilde, y era al concepto que él se refería.
@@huveja9799 Todo lo que manejó el australiano estuvo perfecto conceptualmente, periferia, zona pobre, basura, hurgadores. Es la realidad. Después algunos chiflados de ego herido le buscan la vuelta para atenuar la realidad.
@@de5letras1 Supongo que todo el que es de Uruguay debe sufrir uruguayitis crónica, así como si sos de Australia debés sufrir Australiatis crónica, ni te hablo si sos de USA. No podés evitar el sesgo de la cultura donde te criastes, a menos que luego tengas un proceso de descondicionamiento bastante fuerte, lo cual es algo bastante excepcional. Respecto a la semántica de Villa, más concretamente Villa Miseria que luego se abrevió en Villa, es la misma semántica que acá tiene el término Cantegril (aunque ahora es más políticamente correcto referirse a ese tipo de aglomeración humana como "asentamiento"), en este caso, más que "humilde" (habría también que definir el término "humilde"), estaríamos hablando de características extremas negativas con respecto al resto de la sociedad, tanto a nivel económico como cultural. Se podría decir que tanto el barrio del Cerro como la Teja, serían barrios "humildes", pero dentro de la Teja, hay una zona conocida como Cachimba del Piojo (Heredia e Inclusa) que clarmente es un Cantegril. Dónde termina el Cantegril y comienza el barrio "humilde"?, difícil decirlo, ya que la transición es gradual. Vos te creés que el Australiano conoce la semántica de todo eso?, lo dudo mucho, básicamente todos entraron en la misma bolsa de cinturón periférico de gran ciudad que es miserable, es decir una Villa en Argentina, un Cantegril en Montevideo, el Bañado en Paraguay o una Favela en Brasil ..
you did a decent job my friend but I reckon I could have shown you worse neighbourhoods than the one you thought was not safe, I lived in Montevideo for 23 yrs. I grew up in two working-class suburbs in my time there, not sure how they are now but La Teja, El Rincon, and Nuevo Paris were my stomping grounds from the time I was 3 until I was 23 when I left to go to Australia. Many people have visited our pais and I think that there is one thing everybody can say, we are a friendly bunch, regardless of the circumstances. Well done mate
Cante o cantegril es la manera despectiva de llamarlo. Dado que el cantegril club era para clase alta. La manera más "técnica" y formal de decirlo es y siempre será asentamiento
Hola Amigo que bueno que estas en Colonia anda a Colonia Suiza si podes es un pueblo hermoso a y acá está lleno de esas mini tuks eléctricas de tres ruedas y hay autitos también de ese tipo de cuatro ruedas y son para dos personas,son de marcas chinas,alemanas,y indias y mucha gente las compra por que salen buenas y también hay autos normales eléctricos de las marcas BYD y PEUGEOT y salen depende el modelo de 30 mil dólares a 55 mil dólares y aca se están usando mucho en Uruguay ya que los combustibles son demasiado caros como la Nafta o el Gas oil,que disfrutes mucho en Colonia.🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
Bienvenido. If you need anything let me know. I live 10 min from where you're staying. And nice move buying a torta to the street guy. Now you'll be safer lol.
22:09 mostly those guys are crackheads, convicts and most of the time both, u'll hear they are ordering street parking, but they 'll just extortion you for some cash, things can go pretty bad for your car or yourself If you dont spare some change, one of the low points of living in Uruguay and Argentina
en linea recta desde colonia del sacramento , al otro lado del rio , esta el centro de Buenos Aires In a straight line from Colonia del Sacramento, on the other side of the river, is the center of Buenos Aires
hey, just a small correction: The people who you say “take care” of your car, you are very wrong. The only job these people do is waiting for you to drive off so you pay them. They don’t give a fck about your car. You’re hearing it from someone who experienced how a friends car got stolen, and the guy response was “idk i just wasn’t there at that moment”. I hope you enjoy it here 🇺🇾
the house you are staing at in Montevideo is impossible that is from a colonial time, because city was inside the walls untill the independence (and that area is outside the walls), and also because it has an architecture from the end of the 19th centrury and begining from the 20th century, so probably was a house build by a family of the huge wave ig inmigration the country had at those times
You stayed really closed to where I live, if I'm not wrong at the block crossing the street were you bought the torta frita there is a Disco supermarket, one of the most famous and cheap supermarket chains and a good place to buy food, fruits and vegetables. Did you go to Plaza del Entrevero? They dance tango on the weekends afternoon, a nice thing to film
