Wow! Having traveled quite a bit for work and pleasure over the past 35 years or so, I’ve become reasonably proficient at how to map out a trip. My usual research for my upcoming trip to Uruguay began just when Covid struck, and cancelled my plans. So I’ve spent some time at the research bit!
Karen’s website and books have been fantastic, and so I decided to do a 1:1 via Zoom with her.
And am I glad I did!!
An hour with her was like 6 months worth of research, but only better. She truly seems to know the country as well as anyone can. I’ve already made adjustments in how I’m going to approach my visit. The notes she emailed after the meeting will be an indispensable part of my journey. Thoroughly detailed and clearly written just for me.
And as a bonus, she is remarkably engaging, easy to talk to and fun. I feel as if I’ve made a new friend in Uruguay. Thank you so very much Karen!

My wife and I were planning a two-week trip to Uruguay—a country we had never visited—before starting a new job. I consulted the usual sources like guidebooks and TripAdvisor. I considered working through one of the travel agents listed in a guidebook, but observed that none of the options was focused on Uruguay, probably because it’s such a small country. At that time, I discovered Karen Higgs’ trip consulting service on the http://www.guruguay.com site. It was money well-spent. After providing some background info and talking with us via Zoom, Karen provided a tailored set of trip recommendations that made our trip special. In addition, the cost savings we got by referring to Karen’s business more than made up for the consulting fees. I don’t hesitate to recommend Karen to folks considering a vacation, remote work stay or business trip to the wonderful country of Uruguay.

The consultation was definitely worth it. I’m from the UK and have practically no contacts in Uruguay. Karen has been able to put me in contact with someone to rent a room from as well as giving me a much better holistic understanding of life in Uruguay, great communities to engage with and places to travel to on the weekend, even advising me on my commute. I feel a lot less stressed about planning the next steps before moving now.
Thanks Karen, you are a lifesaver!

Henry, if only more parents of students doing an internship abroad in Uruguay had the foresight to invest in a relocation consultation for their child. Yours are the best! I could see the relief all over your face as we sketched out the best route for you to get to your place of work and you saw your commute cut almost in half. It was so much fun to meet. Know that you can reach out to me if you need anything when you are here. — Karen

Having never visited Uruguay before, it was so useful to have Karen’s insight and suggestions when planning our 3-week visit this past summer (Uruguay’s winter – July/August 2022). It was our first ‘recon’ visit, to see if it could potentially be our retirement location in a few years’ time. During our consultation, Karen helped us sketch out a realistic itinerary, to include places that might appeal to us for future living ; based on an earlier retirement consultation, Karen already had an excellent sense of the kind of places we might like – this is the very personal and friendly input you get from Karen, who has the knack of honing in on details and remembering what her clients are about. A flu virus during our visit meant we had to alter plans a little, but otherwise we managed to see different neighbourhoods of Montevideo, hire a car (another brilliant recommendation from Karen, the Mariño Sport car rental) and drive up the coast to Pan de Azucar, La Paloma (our favourite), Minas, and then over to Colonia. Karen’s initial advice, suggestions and ideas are an indispensable starting point for anyone looking to make the most of their visit to Uruguay. We also made a lot of use of an excellent road map (of the old-fashioned paper kind!) – Karen had said the roads would be empty in winter, she was right: driving up the Interbalneario was a dream! Thank you again Karen, we would not have started this “on the way to retirement in Uruguay” journey without you.

Your knowledge and conversational style make a wonderful combination. All the ideas you offered for my two week trip to Uruguay and the itinerary you built are superb.Your contributions will make all the difference in my experience. That call with you and your planned itinerary are well worth the price. It has been a very good investment.
Thank you for putting so much creative thought into my trip
