What is different about Uruguay
One centre, a small country
Montevideo is the only verified exam location, but Uruguay is compact enough that almost everyone is within a few hours. The constraint is the calendar rather than the distance.
Buenos Aires is across the river
If the Montevideo dates do not suit, Goethe-Institut Buenos Aires examines the same range and is a ferry ride away, with a second Argentinian location in Córdoba. The certificate is identical wherever you sit it.
Study files mean TestDaF or C1
German universities teaching in German normally ask for TestDaF or Goethe-Zertifikat C1. Both run in Montevideo, but they are different exams - read the admission letter rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
TestDaF is booked centrally
The institute lists TestDaF, but registration runs through testdaf.de rather than the institute, on six fixed dates a year with places allocated in the order they arrive.

Sitting the exam abroad usually means one shot and a long wait for the next date. Practise in the real format first - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics show which module still needs the weeks you have left.
