Uruguay

Uruguay sits quietly between Argentina and Brazil, a compact country of rolling grasslands, long Atlantic beaches, and a relaxed urban culture centered on Montevideo. Cattle outnumber people by a wide margin, and the interior still feels genuinely rural — mate gourds, gaucho traditions, and open horizons.
