Unfortunately, there is not an international railway line. Between Colonia and Buenos Aires there is a ferry service with daily departures.

Since the military airline TAM has suspended its services, there are no domestic flights within Uruguay except the ones that go from Montevideo to Punta del Este performing flights to Brazil.

Buses are reasonably priced and routes that target all major destinations have daily departures with a good frequency.
