Places To See in Uruguay
Uruguay is a combination of St. Tropez, Rio de Janeiro and other countries that attract millions of tourists to their beaches. But the beaches are not the only things that you can see when you travel to Uruguay. The country also has a very rich cultural heritage, a combination of Portuguese, Brazilian, Argentinian and Spanish cultures, traditions, architecture and food.
