Part 10/11:
Don't Expect to Purchase Marijuana
Though Uruguay has legalized marijuana, tourists cannot legally purchase it. Marijuana is restricted solely to residents, which can be confusing given its visible presence. Stay informed and understand the laws to avoid issues during your visit.
Don't Worry About Crossing the Streets
While crossing streets can be a risky endeavor in many countries, in Uruguay, you may find a more pedestrian-friendly environment. Vehicles generally yield to pedestrians, but like anywhere, it’s best to use caution.
