Uruguay is a charming country, surrounding by two imposing bigger brothers, Argentina and Brazil. A small population benefits from a temperate climate and plenty of beach front. Meat is just as plentiful and commonplace, but the pace of life is a touch slower in this more sedate country. Buenos Aires is visible from Colonia de Sacramento, with only the Rio Plata seperating the two. Frequent ferries make this pretty town a popular stop for Argentinians, and day trippers from Montevideo. Flip-flopping between Spanish, Portuguese and finally Brazilian rule, the old port town has a rich history, understandably so given the prime location. Walking around is very pleasant, with tree lined, cobblestoned streets and a fresh atmosphere. Montevideo is the capital city and has a mixture of great architecture, and an almost self-depreciating air which makes finding the gems all the more enjoyable. Finally, up the coast towards Brazil is Punta del Diablo, not to be confused with the flashy Punta del Este, the South American playboy beach city. Punta del Diablo is a quiet fishing village which has the constant background sound of Atlantic waves crashing against the coast. |
