Uruguay is still off the beaten track. Tucked away in the southeastern corner of South America, it’s the perfect pit stop for travelers who backpack between Brazil and Argentina. It's country with more cows than people, legal marijuana and a very long summer. It hides a surprising number of bucket list destinations like for example Carmelo. The region around the city of Carmelo is, in our opinion, the best kept secret of Uruguay.
