Uruguay Facts

Land: Most of Uruguay is a rolling plain. The country itself has flat plains on its eastern, southern, and western edges. The narrow Atlantic coastal plain is sandy and marshy, occasionally broken by shallow lagoons. The littorals of the Río de la Plata and the Río Uruguay are somewhat broader and merge more gradually into the hilly interior.

The remaining two-quarters of the country is a rolling plateau marked by ranges of low hills that become more prominent in the north as they merge into the highlands of southern Brazil. Even these hilly areas are remarkably featureless, however, and elevations seldom exceed 200 meters.

Uruguay History

The only inhabitants of Uruguay before European colonization of the area were the Charrua Indians, a small tribe driven south by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay. The Spanish discovered the territory of present-day Uruguay in 1516, but the Indians' fierce resistance to conquest, combined with the absence of gold and silver, limited settlement in the region during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Spanish introduced cattle, which became a source of wealth in the region. Spanish colonization increased as Spain sought to limit Portugal's expansion of Brazil's frontiers. MORE

“Uruguay has a lot to offer and has become especially popular with retirees and those who work online,” said Elaine Herbert from www.totaluruguay.com, a virtual meeting point for expatriates and travelers to the country.  “Uruguay is small and therefore not overwhelming, safe and politically stable especially in the context of South America,” she said.  “There are many beautiful beaches and coastal areas within easy reach of the cities.”
