| The people of Uruguay, almost entirely of Spanish and Italian ancestry.
Uruguay is best known for its beaches, which endure a high-season, South American jet-set invasion reminiscent of the French Riviera. But if you venture beyond the sand and surf, you'll find a modest little country full of subtle attractions. Its capital, Montevideo, is an agreeable place to spend a few days.
The country also has a charming 17th-century colonial city, Colonia del Sacramento, and there is a timeless quality to its rolling pampas, or prairies, laced by huge ranches, many of which house guests in stylish comfort. |
