Cacciola Tips
Is the most economic option, departing from “El Tigre” and traveling by boat till the uruguayan city Carmelo. Then a 3 hour bus trip is left to finally get to Montevideo.

Buses Tips
During night time you can sleep in the bed-seats of every company. The custom´s stop is something quick done by the same company, so you can go on sleeping or either get down some minutes to visit the free shop.

Ferry Tips
 
Both, the Tigre and Carmelo deserve your attention for a couple of hours. The boat trip goes through the Delta del Tigre where you can find loads of small islands, ideal for having a beer in the deck while you see the sunset!
