This new, fully updated third edition of Bradt`s Uruguay remains the only dedicated English-language guide to a country that`s small yet bursting with character. Bradt`s Uruguay provides in-depth coverage of the capital Montevideo, where the once-derelict colonial Old City is undergoing a historic resurgence, plus detailed information on the UNESCO-listed coastal city of Colonia del Sacramento, as well as Punta del Este, where the Buenos Aires glitterati decamps to the beaches each summer. There`s advice, too, for active travellers who can rattle their whips on cattle-ranching estancias & spin their sticks in a game of polo or two & for nature enthusiasts keen to watch wildlife in the western wetlands & birds in Cabo Polonio & Santa Teresa. The guide also investigates the Brazilian influences behind Uruguay`s music & dance, an active & upcoming food & wine scene, & the country`s distinctive Afro-Uruguayan heritage, most noticeable during the world-beating 80-day Carnaval season. In addition, it covers the recent development of marijuana tours following the legalisation of marijuana. Uruguay caters for all tastes, whether you want to ride with gauchos & spend time on a traditional estancia like La Sirena, visit Fray Bentos & discover the history of the town`s former meat-packing plant, or take a tour of the Canelones department wineries. Montevideo`s Splendid Art Deco architecture & colourful annual Carnaval are covered, & so too are the stunning sandy beaches of boho-chic fishing village Jose Ignacio & the Termas de Dayman
