Best Places to Visit in Uruguay
Best Places to Visit in Uruguay
Bordered by Argentina and Brazil, the tiny country of Uruguay is often overlooked by those heading to its bigger neighbors. Uruguay is a country you cannot afford to skip from your Latin America itinerary. It has so much to offer, whether it’s surfing beaches, good wine, stunning scenery, delicious steaks and of course marijuana.
Cross its borders and the reward will be endless delights, from glamorous coastline to ranch-peppered interiors where wild lands, gaucho culture, and local folklore lives on. It was one of the first on the continent to allow gay marriages, legalise abortions in 2012 and established a welfare state in 1903.
And of course, the marijuana which it’s so famous for since December 2013, Uruguay legalised the cultivation, sale, and consumption of marijuana for recreational use.
Here are the top ten places to visit on your next trip.

Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue - Paraguay
The Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue of Paraguay are considered some of the most impressive creations of the religious work of the Jesuit, and are testimony of the historical richness of the country.
Aleixo Garcia discovered Paraguay in 1524. Its development in political, economical and social matter was a slow process, scarred by armed conflicts between Spanish conquerors and natives, who fought to preserve their territory. By 1590 the Spanish had founded 10 cities and 40 colonies in South America. The natives were forced to be at their service (Encomienda system).
The Spanish King tried to improve their quality of life by making some decrees for their protection but it was difficult to have a real system of control to make sure they were obeyed. The system of Encomienda gave place to many insurrections of the natives.
It was not until the Missions were established that there was a real improvement in the living conditions of the natives. The first Jesuits arrived in Tucumán in 1586 and in 1587, by request of the Asunción’s Bishop, Alonso Guerra. The Jesuits started the evangelization and building of towns or Missions in the region of Misiones and Itapúa Departments in Paraguay.

Discovering Paraguay: The Heart of South America
Brief information:
Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America, bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest. Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, which runs through the center of the country from north to south. Due to its central location in South America, it is sometimes referred to as Corazón de América (Heart of America).
Paraguay is a representative democratic republic, with a multi-party system and separation of powers in three branches. Executive power is exercised solely by the President, who is head of state and head of government. Legislative power is vested in the two chambers of the National Congress. The judiciary is vested on tribunals and Courts of Civil Law and a nine-member Supreme Court of Justice, all of them independent of the executive and the legislature.
Paraguay consists of seventeen departments and one capital district (distrito capital).
It is also divided into 2 regions: The Occidental Region or Chaco (Boquerón, Alto Paraguay and Presidente Hayes), and the Oriental Region (the other departments and the capital district).
The overall climate ranges from subtropical to temperate. Like most lands in the region, Paraguay has only wet and dry periods. Winds play a major role in influencing Paraguay's weather: between October and March, warm winds blow from the Amazon Basin in the North, while the period between May and August brings cold winds from the Andes.
Paraguay's indigenous language and culture, Guaraní, remains highly influential. In each census, residents predominantly identify as mestizo, reflecting years of intermarriage among the different ethnic groups. Guaraní is recognized as an official language alongside Spanish. Both languages are widely spoken in the country, with around 92% of the general population speaking Spanish and 98% speaking Guaraní.

The Jesuit Missions of Bolivia - Santa Cruz
The Jesuit Missions in Bolivia were not the first to be established in Latin America. The story of how these amazing settlements came about dates back to the early 1500's. The first Jesuit missionaries arrived in what is now Bolivia (then known as Upper Peru) in 1572, having moved eastward from the Viceroyalty of Peru, where they had been established as a province since 1568.
The Jesuits also penetrated into Bolivia's northern reaches, especially the Moxos (now part of Beni Department) and Guarayos (now part of Santa Cruz Department) regions. The first incursions there took place in 1596, although it was not until 1682 - a few years prior to their settling the Chiquitania.
The Jesuits trained their naturally proficient charges to become phenomenal craftsmen in several fields. Those of the Chiquitos missions are best known for their musical skills. Even classically European musical instruments - the cello, the harp, the violin - were created anew in the depths of the Bolivian forests and plains by the inhabitants of the reducciones, without any innate knowledge of what they were making.
Today, the Jesuit Missions of Bolivia (San Javier, Concepcion, San Ignacio, San Jose de Chiquitos, Santa Ana, San Miguel, and numerous others) are home to the International Renaissance and Baroque Music Festival that takes place every two years.

[한국어 정보]
살타의 야경은 식민지 시대 계획도시로 개발된 이곳의 모습을 보여준다. 격자무늬로 반듯하게 쭉쭉 뻗은 길은 편리한 교통체계를 만들어 냈다. 주소로 명소를 찾아가기 쉽다. 운전자도 보행자도 편리한 도시 환경. 살타의 거리를 거닐며 나는 도시의 맛집을 찾아갔다. 극장식 맛집인가? 이미 식당 안은 전통춤과 함께 열기가 후끈했다. 아르헨티나의 대표적인 요리 ‘아사도’다. 양이나 송아지를 통째로 구워 부위별로 한 접시에 올린다. “숯불에 곱는 거예요. 다 고기에요. 소시지, 립 그리고 심장, 신장 부위에요” 한 때 이곳 가우초들이 산과 들에서 가축을 통째로 장작불에 구어 먹던 방식을 지금까지도 많은 식당들이 고수하고 있다. 세계적으로 가장 좋은 육질의 소고기를 생산하는 것으로 알려진 아르헨티나. 소고기 소비량도 세계에서 가장 높다. 아사도는 소의 각종 부위들과 아르헨티나식 소시지가 곁들어져 나온다. 나도 아사도 한 접시를 주문했다. 양이 제법 많았다. 기름기는 쏙 빠졌지만 육즙은 살아있는 소문대로 고기 맛이 일품이다. 가우초 의상을 입은 남자 댄서와 쁘레시이빠이사나라는 전통 의상을 입은 여자 댄서가 전통 춤을 선보이다가 식사를 마친 손님들을 무대로 이끈다. 파티는 결국 손님 모두가 거리로 쏟아져나와 집단 군무를 즐기고 나서야 끝이 난다. “살타 만세. 아르헨티나 만세” 살타의 밤이 이렇게 깊어 간다.

The night view of Salta shows the city developed as a colonial planning city. Stretched straight in a plaid pattern, the road created a convenient traffic system. It is easy to visit the sights by address. Urban environment where driver and pedestrian are convenient. Walking through the streets of Salta, I went to the city's restaurants. Is it a theater-style restaurant? Already in the dining room, the traditional dance and the enthusiasm were hot. It is Argentina's representative dish Asado. Bake all the sheep or calves and place them on a plate. I'm on a charcoal fire. It's meat. Sausages, ribs and heart, kidneys. Many restaurants have been keeping up to now the way that gauchos once used their livestock to eat in the mountains. Argentina, known for producing the finest beef in the world. Beef consumption is also the highest in the world. Asado comes with various parts of the cattle and Argentinean sausages. I also ordered a dish from Asa. There was a lot of sheep. The fat is slippery, but the juice is excellent, as is the live rumor. A dancer in a Gaucho costume and a female dancer in a traditional costume named Preseei Paisana lead the guests who have finished their meal with a traditional dance. The party eventually ends when all of the guests pour out into the streets and enjoy collective affairs. Long live Salta. Long live Argentina The night of Salta is so deep.

La vista nocturna de Salta muestra que la ciudad se desarrolló como una ciudad de planificación colonial. Estirada recta en un patrón de cuadros, la carretera creó un sistema de tráfico conveniente. Es fácil visitar los lugares de interés por dirección. Ambiente urbano donde el conductor y el peatón son convenientes. Caminando por las calles de Salta, fui a los restaurantes de la ciudad. ¿Es un restaurante de estilo teatro? Ya en el comedor, la danza tradicional y el entusiasmo estaban calientes. Es el plato representativo de Argentina Asado. Hornee todas las ovejas o terneros y colóquelos en un plato. Estoy en un incendio de carbón. Es carne Salchichas, costillas y corazón, riñones. Muchos restaurantes se han estado manteniendo hasta ahora de la misma manera en que los gauchos alguna vez usaban su ganado para comer en las montañas. Argentina, conocida por producir la mejor carne de vacuno del mundo. El consumo de carne de vaca es también el más alto del mundo. Asado viene con varias partes del ganado y salchichas argentinas. También pedí un plato de Asa. Hubo muchas ovejas. La grasa es resbaladiza, pero el jugo es excelente, como es el rumor en vivo. Una bailarina vestida de Gaucho y una bailarina con un traje tradicional llamada Preseei Paisana conducen a los invitados que han terminado su comida con un baile tradicional. La fiesta finalmente termina cuando todos los invitados salen a la calle y disfrutan de los asuntos colectivos. Larga vida a Salta. Larga vida a Argentina La noche de Salta es tan profunda.
