Uruguay: You Will Love It
Uruguay, also called the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, is located in the southern part of South America. To the north, it borders with Brazil, to the west with the Uruguay River, to the southwest with the famous Río de la Plata and to the southeast with the South Atlantic Ocean. It is believed that around 50% of the population lives in Montevideo, which is the largest city of Uruguay and the capital of the country. In addition to be considered a really stable country regarding politic and economical issues, it is just bigger than Suriname and French Guiana in the whole South America.
Uruguay relies on a very particular geography. It is really easy to find low hill ranges and rolling plains. Its coastal lowland, which is mostly made up of grassland, allows great sheep and cattle rising. The highest elevation in Uruguay corresponds to the beautiful Cerro Catedral. Besides, this country offers you the opportunity of getting to know amazing rivers such as Río de la Plata, Uruguay River, Paraná River and Río Negro. If you are wondering about the weather, you do not have to worry about it since the climate in Uruguay is temperate and sometimes warm.
Since Uruguay is such a fantastic place, there are several recommended destinations and activities you will definitely enjoy. One of them refers to thermal tourism since diving into 38-45 degrees thermal water is a revitalizing and fascinating experience. One of the best places to do it is called Termas de Arapey. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a more sunshiny adventure, the sun and beaches are waiting for you. Three amazing places are suggested under this category. The first one is Punta del Este, which is considered the most sophisticated place to enjoy the sunset. Furthermore, Piriápolis is another great destination. It can be described as a beach with surrounding hills. Finally, the Oceanic Coast is always loved by tourists. This is full of swamps and lagoons full of fauna and vegetation. It is important for you to know that, in all these places, out-of-this-world resorts, including Punta del Diablo, Valizas, Cabo Polonia and La Barra del Chuy, are available to make of this trip the most extraordinary experience of your life.
