Uruguay

Uruguay is one of the smallest South American countries, just the size of England and Wales, with a charming, warm, friendly population of only 3 million. It is a largely flat country of rolling plains with hilly meadows and rivers, bordered by hundreds of miles of fine sandy Atlantic beaches with an ideal non-tropical riding climate and unexpectedly diverse landscapes. It sports some fascinating towns (including its atmospheric capital, Montevideo), seaside resorts, and some of the cheapest and most delectable steaks you will find anywhere! From the charming cobbled old town of Colonia del Sacramento (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) hung with flowering jasmine, to its cattle ranches populated with daring gauchos (cowboys) and the bright, brash international beach resort of Punta del Este, Uruguay is a playground to delight any traveller.
