Uruguay

Uruguay is a small country in South America. Its capital city is Montevideo.The geography of Uruguay has a profusion of coastlines, rivers and streams, with many waterfronts and beaches of unusual beauty.Spanish is spoken by its 3.000.000 inhabitants throughout its total territorial surface of 176.251 km2.

Uruguay has almost 500 km of beaches, being unique by their vast areas of white sand, clear and pure water and almost untouched natural woodlands.
The most famous resort by the sea is called Punta del Este, its total territorial surface of 176.251 km2.

Piriapolis, the second seashore resort, 100 km. far east from Montevideo, grew around a great bay surrounded by rocky hills.

The Costa de Oro (Golden Cost)starting 20 km east far from Montevideo, has little villages immersed in pine woodlands, where beaches of white sand alternate with rocky points and wild vegetation.
The Atlantic coast unrivaled in its natural magnificence covers 200 km of endless beaches of immaculate sand and transparent water, where the only sound to be heard comes from the waves and the seagulls.

I really like the country. Here there are some pictures:

My mother's name is Janet and my father's is Ruben. I go to English classes in the Emily Dickinson Educational Center, and next year we are going to Disney!
