Uruguay Summary
Located in the southeastern part of South America, Uruguay offers cultural wealth, architectural heritage, and serene landscapes. Visitors to the country can take in the cultural scene in Montevideo, the country’s capital, or enjoy Punta del Este’s sandy beaches. Uruguay’s coastline is a treasure chest, with dunes and enchanting lagoons for the explorer to discover. The picturesque 17th-century port of Colonia is also well worth the visit, especially for those interested in South America’s unique history. For those who wish to really soak in the Uruguayan way of life, it is possible to spend the night at an estancia (ranch) and experience the grandeur of gaucho country and the warmth of the people. With its vibrant locals and stunning sceneries, Uruguay is well worth discovering.

and what about Aguas Dulces?
Hi Leandro,
I went through all the same places you mention, but the one I most liked was Aguas Dulces... If you ever go back to Rocha you need to visit that small colourful town. Great beaches and small houses all around the main street (which is full of artisans and small canteens where you can taste the great chivito... my recommendation is "El chivito veloz" that is the best restaurant I´ve ever been to).
See you!

Visiting Salto, the place where i was borned.
If you wanna have fun... you can come here! However, if you want to relax, and being in contact with nature you also have to come here!
There is a huge natural park with termal water, the hotels are next to it.
There are 2 accuatic parks, one of them is called "Acuamania" and it´s the best in South America. I will show you some pics......

My visit to Rocha last summer
After a few days of mountains an valleys we finally arrived at the beach, Chuy has big waves to surf in and cristal clear water. Next we stopped at Santa Teresa, a ecologic reserve that has magnificent places to visit like a zoo and a fortress from the times of Artigas. Just a few km from there is Punta del Diablo, what to say about this place, paradise on earth, a little fishermen village that charms you the moment you arrive. We missed the entrance to Cabo Polonio but is already scheduled for our next trip since we hear that is worth knowing. We ended our tour trough Rocha at La Paloma, very nice place where you can just lay on the sand to enjoy a live music band while sipping a cold drink during the evening or at night since there are lots of pubs at the shore that are open all night long.

To spend a day in Colonia, a good%
I have gone to Colonia twice. I travelled on boat there. It's a nice city, specially if you enjoy of colonial places. A guide takes you for a walk along the city, and he tells you the most important things that happened there. It's a good option to spend a day outside and an excuse for travelling on boat if you like it.
