Uruguay
Gauchos are ubiquitous in this small South American country. Like eucalyptus forests visible in the background.
Small country where we could spend a lot of time! Sparsely populated with silk roads even in the countryside. Welcoming people although more and more fearful about their safety in recent years.
I didn't have so many expectations of Uruguay, this small South American country nestled between its giant neighbors Argentina and Brazil. After a few weeks of riding there, it was nevertheless with a heavy heart that I left this welcoming and perfect country to learn about South American cycle tourism.
