Uruguay, South America is the place to visit because it is nestled between Brazil and Argentina on the Atlantic Ocean coastline with more temperate climates. Montevideo, its capital city, is a sunny place to visit with its miles of fantastic beaches, great restaurants, varieties of lodging and wonderful shops. Montevideo also has interesting Italian and Spanish architecture, reflecting its colonial past, open-air markets, and museums.

 The terrain of Uruguay is diverse with lowlands and coastal plains which give way to rolling hills and mountains in the interior. Along the Atlantic coastline, travelers can find bays and lagoons waiting for sailors and yachters as well as snorkelers and scuba divers. Visitors also need to see its 17th colonial towns like Carmelo, San Jose, and Colonia which have brightly-colored buildings and houses dotting their cobbled streets. The Uruguayan Riviera, which often reminds travelers of Caribbean beaches, has world-class resorts that are only ferry trip from Buenos Aires.

Eco-tourists and outdoor adventurers enjoy Uruguay because it is a country of rivers and lakes where water sports are available for every taste. Those visitors, who prefer the silent sports, can paddle, canoe, wind surfing, and kayak while others can enjoy motor boating, water skiing, jet skiing, and fishing. Hunters can enjoy a variety of venues in Uruguay.

Some visitors report that Uruguay has everything that they found in Argentina only cheaper.
