Uruguay\u2019s progressive policies have shone a spotlight on this little South American nation over recent years, drawing well-deserved attention to its laid back beauty and abundant\u00a0tourist attractions too. As it emerges from the shadows of neighbouring giants Brazil or Argentina, visitors are discovering paradise beaches, rustic towns, rich musical traditions and wines to challenge the Malbecs of Mendoza, not to mention some of the friendliest people in South America.<\/p>\n

The New Year marks the beginning of the holiday\u00a0season here, and the longest carnival in the South – running for 40 days from the end of January – is the perfect excuse to visit this laid-back\u00a0nation while escaping the Northern Hemisphere\u2019s winter. Head to the capital, Montevideo, for\u00a0Las Llamadas<\/em>, in which hundreds of costumed drummers parade down the cobbled streets of the traditional Palermo and Barrio Sur neighbourhoods to the thundering, home-grown rhythms\u00a0of\u00a0candombe<\/em>, a legacy left by the slaves who were brought to these shores in colonial times. You can also enjoy a\u00a0murga <\/em>performance, featuring choral songs and comedy in one of the city\u2019s open-air theatres.<\/p>\n

While you’re in the capital, sample an\u00a0asado<\/em>\u00a0at the atmospheric Mercado del Puerto, <\/em>a beautiful cast-iron building buzzing with trade, packed with open-plan\u00a0parrillas<\/em>\u00a0(grills) cooking sizzling steaks,\u00a0chorizo<\/em>\u00a0sausages and\u00a0morcilla<\/em>\u00a0(blood sausage). Then, wile away an afternoon in nearby plazas sipping mate<\/em>, the bitter tea favoured by Uruguayans that is drunk from a gourd with a metal bombilla (straw).<\/p>\n

Many visitors to Uruguay head straight to beach resorts like Punta del Este, a classy escape where Argentina’s elite go to socialise, sunbathe and be seen. If Punta seems too developed though, 30km to the east you can find the more exclusive dunes of Jose Ignacio, where\u00a0the likes of Shakira and Naomi Campbell have been spotted on their holidays. But for a complete escape and to sample the real soul of Uruguay, rent a cabin in the off-the-grid hideaway of Cabo Polonio surrounded by\u00a0wooden shacks and a seal colony, or head even further east to Fortaleza Santa Teresa’s forest campsite, white sands and mysterious old fortress.<\/p>\n

To the east, old world charm\u00a0abounds in\u00a0Colonia del Sacrimento where vintage cars and horse\u00a0drawn\u00a0carts amble\u00a0down sleepy cobbled streets and plazas. For a better view across the Rio de la Plata, the world\u2019s widest river,towards Buenos Aires, climb the 19th century colonial lighthouse. Reward yourself afterwards with a well deserved visit to one of Colonia\u2019s cosy eateries to\u00a0try the national dish, chivito, a sandwich packed with beef fillet, bacon or ham, cheese, salad and olives, that will satisfy the most hefty appetite.<\/p>\n

Down the road is Carmelo, a rustic town on the banks of the river, surrounded by gently rolling hills and grassy meadows. This is a relaxing, luxury destination where you can sample\u00a0Uruguay’s speciality Tannat wines\u00a0and fine cheeses\u00a0in beautiful settings like Narbona, a restored, turn of the century farmhouse and winery. Typical of the country’s\u00a0wine makers, it is a small producer whose products\u00a0have a personal,\u00a0hand-made touch. While\u00a0fame may favour the Malbecs of\u00a0neighbouring Argentina, Uruguay’s wines, like its towns and beaches, have a soulful charm all of their\u00a0own.<\/p>\n
