In Colonia

del Sacramento, cool cobbled streets dive down out of the sun's penetrating

gaze. It is easy to see why this is the most visited area in Uruguay; vehicles

from the 40's and 50's sit parked in bright oblongs of sunlight, while veteran

cannons keep a look-out over the Atlantic from the Colonia defence.

Just down

the coast Montevideo, described by some as the 'Monaco of South

America' is a trendy city with casinos, restaurants, bars and a port gleaming

with the bows of expensive yachts. With an expansive, wild mainland and a

picturesque coastline, Uruguay has a lot to offer the wind-blown

wanderer or the sight-seeing photographer and those who fall in-between.

When to go:

Uruguay has a sub-tropical climate. Unprotected

by any mountain ranges, it's vulnerable to unexpected weather changes. The

hottest month is January, the coldest June.
