Uruguay lies across
the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires (Argentina). If you thought the tango is the
copyright of Argentina then you have got to see what a favourite it is with the people in
Uruguay! They celebrate the 'carnaval' with the joie de vivre of all Hispanic Americans.
People visit this country to see the sublime Atlantic beach resorts, the beautiful town of
Colonia still frozen in the 18th century and enjoy the great range of sports on
offer.
About half the population of Uruguay
lives in Greater Montevideo. Europeans will find their own kind in Uruguay, as Uruguayans
are all basically European, mostly of Spanish and Italian origin.
