uruguay
Though it is the second smallest country in South America, Uruguay makes a big impression. This is a land of dusty towns and sparkling beach resorts, of rough-and-ready gauchos and subtle artists and festive plazas. Uruguay is a place where soccer (futbol) is worshipped without reserve, where the sun shines brightly and the air stays warm, where few question the dignity of their homeland.
