V!VA User‘s Description

Uruguay, (population: 3,399,000) the smallest Spanish-speaking country in South America, looks a bit like an upside-down diamond wedged between Argentina and Brazil. For tourists wanting to travel off the beaten track, it may may just be a diamond-in-the-rough.

Uruguay: Hidden Gem

Rating: 100%

Uruguay is the hidden gem of South America. Hundreds of kilometers of beautiful beaches. A capital city with an interesting combination of historic and new. Wonderful food and wine and an interior lifestyle for those who want to get away from it all. Most of the people you meet speak only Spanish, so bone up or hire a guide. The small wine industry is producing some fantastic wines and visits to the friendly wineries can make up a whole vacation, followed by wonderful evening meals. It take some work to get there, but the Uruguay visitor will be pleasantly surprised.
