Interesting Facts about Oriental Republic of the Uruguay
Uruguay is slightly smaller than Wisconsin, but a little larger than Greece. It nestles between Brazil to the north, Argentina to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The prevailing landscape is rolling plains and low hills traversed by surfaced roads. These connect Montevideo and other urban centres. An extensive network of rivers feed four deltas along 660 kilometres / 410 miles of Atlantic coastline.
The climate is fairly mild, with four distinct seasons without temperature extremes. The highest point is 514 metres (1680 feet). The general absence of mountains may cause rapid changes of weather, and high humidity and fog occur. Wildlife is less common because of the prevalence of open grassland. However opossums, deer, boars, and jaguars may be seen.

Various European nations including Britain, Portugal and Spain quarreled over possession during the colonial era. As a result the culture is strongly European with an overlay of Gaucho ranch culture. The country is renowned for its tango style of music and dancing, often to the sound of competing guitars.
