A pocket-sized country wedged between Brazilian and Argentine giants, Uruguay enjoys a peaceful way of life. Completely untroubled by the shadow of its neighbours, this triangular drop of land pointing inland has a personality all of its own. Young (its constitution is less than two centuries old), modern (with marriage equality and cannabis legalisation), and shaped by a European heritage visible in its architecture and cuisine, the country nonetheless embodies the full essence of Latin culture. A gaucho spirit raised on maté, riding the pampas to gather cattle (three cows per inhabitant) before returning to the estancia. Turning its back to the Atlantic, Uruguay stretches over 200 km (124 miles) of coastline, where landscapes of dunes and lagoons (the magical Cabo Polonio), crescents of golden beaches, and fishing villages with a poetic spirit unfold, now transformed into havens of chic and cool, like the laid-back Jose Ignacio. Across a territory roughly a third the size of France, a rare and welcoming nature flourishes, much like the Uruguayan people themselves.
