Beaches, beaches, beaches ... and beef. With 500km of beach on three sides and an interior packed with cattle farms, sometimes it seems these are Uruguay's only offerings. Sandwiched between Brazil and Argentina, tiny, progressive Uruguay has acted as more than just a physical buffer between the two South American behemoths. Dominated by sophisticated Montevideo, home to half the population, Uruguay represents a symbolic compromise: the best of both countries, with the sum larger than the parts. Today Uruguay's fortunes - and prices - are chained to its two giant neighbours, which is good news for the traveller given the recent economic woes of both. A short hop from Buenos Aires, the premier beach town of Punta del Este draws Argentina's glitterati each summer for a seemingly endless paparazzi beach party. It may be full of tourists, but they're all beautiful, and at least they're all from Argentina.
