South America is a continent that has a ton of beautiful countries to visit. One of the top places to visit for anyone looking to travel to this region of Earth is the spectacular country of Uruguay.
A small country of only 3.5 million people, Uruguay is one of the most peaceful and pleasant countries on Earth. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway to a little-known place, it might just be the place for you.
If you’re looking for a city to explore, Uruguay’s capital is the beautiful city of Montevideo. One-third of the country’s total population lives here, with a population of just over 1,000,000. The city’s old town hosts an impressive collection of colonial architecture including the stunning Teatro Solis.
In addition, Montevideo is located on the ocean, meaning that it’s blessed with many beaches. It’s easy to escape from the busy city center by walking on the seaside Rambla to explore the city’s beaches.
Another great Uruguayan city to visit is Punta del Este. Uruguay’s top resort city hosts beaches like Brava Beach. It’s possible to see “The Fingers of Punta del Este” here, a gorgeous public art sculpture made by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal.
Uruguay is waiting to be discovered. If you’re looking to relax and take a load off, visit this country!
