Uruguay stands out in tenth place as one of the best destinations to visit in Latin America.

It also describes the mile-long beaches on the edge of the Atlantic, the flourishing wine industry, gastronomy, hot springs, and endless meadows.
It recommends strolling through the cosmopolitan capital Montevideo, but also visiting Colonia del Sacramento and its colonial streets, enjoying the beach glamour of Punta del Este and seizing the opportunity to enjoy authentic and natural experiences such as watching whales and dolphins, discovering life in a ranch riding horses and sharing mate and chats by the fire, or sailing along the rugged coast of Rocha to the solitary Punta del Diablo.
Uruguay is an oasis of stability in the middle of a turbulent continental environment, says the prominent tourist guide.
