Uruguay's Hotels

Uruguay's Hotels
The small South American country of Uruguay, which borders Argentina and Brazil, is not usually thought of as an eco-tourism or adventure sports haven. However, Uruguay's small size allows tourists to travel easily from point to point, and its long coastline, many pristine beaches, varied geography, picturesque towns and wildlife refuges, along with its easy access to boating, fishing, biking, hiking, swimming and golfing opportunities means Uruguay is slowly gaining recognition as an ideal vacation hot-spot for outdoor enthusiasts.
