Clocks in Punta Del Este stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Uruguay.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Punta Del Este day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 12:00–20:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
The zone identifier America/Montevideo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Montevideo keeps pointing at Montevideo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
