When is it summer in Uruguay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

January is the best time. If you want to visit its beautiful beaches I suggest you going in summer, of course, that's from the end of December to the end of March. January is when most people visits its beaches in the south east of the country.

If you want to visit historical places like Colonia and Montevideo you can go anytime. To visit Montevideo is better not to go during summer as there is very few people and most guides are in the east.

How does a Uruguay president get elected?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Once every 5 years there are National Elections.

First on May of the Election Year every political party that wants to have a representation in the National Elections has to arrange internal elections to designate only one person that would represent that party in the National Elections. The government handles this internal elections and the citizens can (it's optional) go and vote between the choices each party gives (only one of only one political party), from that election only one person would come out victorious from each political party (there are three major political parties in Uruguay and 3 minor parties). Then those politicians will have a political campaign until the end of October when the first step of the National Elections are held (at this time the vote is mandatory for any Uruguayan citizen that is inside the country at that time), if one party achieves 50% + 1 votes then the new President is elected, if not the two most votes candidates will have a final round at the end of November (the vote is mandatory again for Uruguayan citizens inside the country at that time) where by simple majority the President will be elected. The parlament will be elected always in October along with the President if it surpasses the 50% + 1 votes, if not the parlament is elected anyway in October and the president and vice-president will be elected the following month.

Who did Uruguay gain their independence from?

A British Lord worked as intermediate between Argentina and Brazil to fix the dispute over the territory where now Uruguay is. The result of this treaty was the creation of a new country at the east of the Uruguay River (that's why Uruguay full name is "República Oriental del Uruguay", what means Eastern Republic of Uruguay). This Lord was named John Ponsonby.
