Bilateral trade and tourism
In 2013, both countries signed an agreement of mutual technical assistance.
In December 2014 Amaszonas started flying between Montevideo and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, a fact that lets expectation grow concerning the presence of Bolivian tourists in Uruguay. There are also arrangements made in order to promote social tourism.
