Introduction to Uruguay

A cosmopolitan capital, a jet-set beach scene, and a wild and majestic interior are just some of the draws to Uruguay. This nation of 3.2 million tea lovers, meat eaters, and African drummers is full of surprises. Hemmed in on both sides by Brazilians and Argentinians, Uruguayans will proudly tell you that they have the best beaches, the best meat, the best  fútbol, the best wine, the best health service, and, perhaps most important, the least corrupt government in South America.
