From the Back Cover:

Explore the dramatic Quebrada de los Cuervos, Uruguay's largest canyonSwim in the Termas de Dayman hot springsTour Canelones's award-winning wineriesMarvel at the colourful dancers and candombe drummers at Montevideo's exotic carnavalDiscover exceptional birdwatching along the Rio Uruguay Tim Burford has written ten guides for Bradt and is an advocate of 'slow travel'. He also leads hiking trips in Europe's mountains. Best known for the town of Fray Bentos, World Cup glory and having more cattle than people, Uruguay is far more than the sum of its cows. Gauchos roam vast stretches of grassland, estancias welcome visitors with old-style hospitality and boutique fishing villages line the unspoiled beaches. This laidback country can certainly stand up to its bigger, brasher neighbours. Whether you want to try your hand at tango, searchfor a nine-banded armadillo, or sip on superb Uruguayan wine, Tim Burford's comprehensive and fully updated guide offers plenty of practical detail as well as an insider's perspective on this oft-overlooked South American gem."
