Is there any DEM (Digital Elevation Model) or DTM (Digital Terrain Model) for Uruguay or South America?
I am aware of the Renare for Uruguay.

You can download a 90-m resolution DEM from http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/download. It covers both Uruguay and all of South America.

1My thoughts exactly. However keep in mind that the SRTM elevation data may contain off terrain objects. Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 17:34
You may want to check out the relatively new MERIT-DEM, which is mostly SRTM but heavily corrected (especially north of 60 degrees). You can download it in tiles. They also have corresponding hydrologic models (MERIT-Hydro) that include flow directions, flow accumulations, channel widths, height above nearest drainage, and a depression-filled DEM. All global.
