What do you know about Uruguay?

I want to hear you, because it seems everybody know nothing =P

A beach in Punta del Este luxury touristic city in Maldonado. Turistic calpital city of MerCoSur (European Union of the South American countries)

Cabo Polonio, A virgin place, where there are just a few natural hotels, where you can stay. It is made for people to relax and get far away from everything.

This building is called Casa Pueblo, in Portezuelo, a nice village near the sea 

Legislative Palace, in Montevideo, my hometown. A historical luxury building (the roof is made with pure gold), Now the parliament works there

Teatro Solis in Montevideo, one of the most important theaters in Latin America

Independence Square in Montevideo, the center of the country. In the picture you can see Artigas, our national hero. And in the back there is a building that used to be the highest building in Latin America

Telecomunication Tower, also in Montevideo, I think comments are not needed!

Natural hot springs in Salto

Rural Uruguay in Ribera

Puma Water Font, in Minas (Salus Park)

Colonia del Sacramento  a historical city that shows the old wars between Spain and Portugal, which both wanted to conquer Uruguay

Nueva Helvecia  My favourite Uruguayan town, it is in the Colonia department and almost all people there are descendent of Swiss people, but there are also Austriac and German.

Pilsen Rock Festival in Durazno (done every year)

Yeaa i know some about uruguay..But not historical or culturell..

Culturally Uruguay is very like western europe, because 94% of us have european origins (mostly portuguese, spanish, french, english, italian, german, polish, croatian, armenian, russian, lithuanian, irish, serbian, scotlish), they influenced a lot of lifestyle, our art, and architecture. Musically we are more influenced more of african people (6%). In Uruguay there are not indigenous people because they were killed by european.

We eat too much cow meat and "mate" it was a typical indigenous drink.
