Head of mission: Mr. Viktor Mahhov, Honorary Consul (as listed in the diplomatic list of Estonia, 31 May 2024)
Uruguay presents a unique appeal for Estonian visitors, featuring a rich culture and beautiful landscapes. As a developing tourism destination nestled between Brazil and Argentina, it offers a range of attractions for both leisure and business travelers. Given that around 600,000 Estonians travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Uruguay to be an intriguing choice.
Uruguay is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Estonia. According to the Global Peace Index, Uruguay ranks 51st out of 160 countries, while Estonia ranks 24th, indicating that Estonia is safer overall. In terms of crime statistics, Estonia has a lower murder rate of 2.0 per 100,000 people compared to Uruguay's 8.9. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Estonia at 0.6 and Uruguay at 2.3. Regarding organized crime, Uruguay scores better in several categories, such as mafia groups (1.5 for Uruguay vs. 3.0 for Estonia) and human trafficking (3.0 for Uruguay vs. 4.5 for Estonia). However, it has higher scores in cocaine trade (5.0 for Uruguay vs. 3.5 for Estonia). Overall, while tourists from Estonia may find Uruguay to be relatively safe, they should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as crime rates are higher than in Estonia.
