Montevideo is only about 140 miles from Buenos Aires, so getting there is easy. Typically, you can fly major airlines to Buenos Aires (EZE) and take either the hydrofoil or a short plane to Montevideo (MVD).
The hydrofoil is the best choice if you’re already in Uruguay since it’s a hassle to fly the short distance alone. Buquebus is the hydrofoil operator. It’s a short 2.5 hour (or 1 hour on the express) ride that’s nice and easy from the Puerto Madero part of Buenos Aires. It should cost as low as $40 or up to $100 if you’re taking a round-trip and getting first-class service.
By air, some suggestions are flying on United’s Argentina site (http://www.united.com.ar) or Pluna (http://www.pluna.aero/english/) for cheap flights as well. Some flights are known to go as low as $40 r/t or usually around $100 r/t.
