MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY-ONE OF SOUTH AMERICA'S SISTER CITIES-2-6-11

Uruguay is one of South America's smallest countries. In addition, it has no extraordinary ancient history or colonial past similar to that of Peru or even Mexico. It was originally founded by the Spanish before declaring their independence along with their neighbor Argentina.
The port of Montevideo is the country's only large city. It houses more than half the nation's population; it is one of the continent's major sea ports; it is home to much of the South Atlantic fishing fleet; and a marvelous destination for those who want to get away from South America's well-traveled routes.
