Maximum cash withdrawal in dollars
[QUOTE=Tres3;445367]Earlier this week I went to Colonia for the first time in over two years. I went with a friend and did not obtain ATM dollars like the last time, but the ATM machines still give dollars or Uruguayan pesos. I bought the ticket at the Seacat office on Cordoba, and paid with cash that I had obtained at the blue rate. The exchange rate had kept up with the ticket increases, so I paid about the same in dollar (about USD $50 R/T) terms as I paid over two years ago.
The ticket is issued by Seacat, but the ferry is operated by Buquebus. So little has changed in two years that I did not notice any changes. With the tip, I paid 70 pesos for a taxi from an area near the Biblioteca Nacional.
The nice thing is that the Argentinians and Uruguayans have gotten together, and you only have to go through Customs and Immigration once.

ATM Withdrawal in Uruguay
[QUOTE=BobbyDoerr;445398]Do you know if caja automaticas (ATMs) in Colonia Uruguay have a max amount of US dollars they let you withdraw daily? I know my bank limits withdrawal to $500 a day. But is there a daily limit on withdrawals set by the ATM machines themselves? How much?[/QUOTE]When I made a withdrawal 2 years ago, my bank had a maximum of $1000.00 USD per day. The ATM machines had a maximum of $300.00 USD per TRANSACTION, and a $6.00 charge per transaction. I made 3 withdrawals of $300.00 each. I could have made a fourth withdrawal of $100.00 but chose not to.
If the banks are like the most of the rest of Uruguay, little has changed in 2 years, and you are still limited to $300.00 per ATM transaction. I do not know if the ATM machines have a maximum USD withdrawal limit, but since your bank limits you to $500.00 USD, you should be OK..
I hope this helps.

Seriously, though, good information. I'll be visiting Uruguay during my upcoming trip in October, so will take advantage of the ATM opportunities.
