Off the Beaten Path - Season 7 Episode 12 Uruguay

Uruguay is the second smallest country in South America, located between Argentina and Brazil. Although early settlers were Portuguese, the official language is Spanish. The country has a temperate climate, with mild, often windy winters and warm summers. After centuries of colonization, Uruguay gained independence in 1828. Today, it is known for its Atlantic coastline, historic districts, strong cattle farming tradition, and deep passion for football. Its capital, Montevideo, is often ranked among the best cities in Latin America for quality of life, with a rich cultural scene. This relaxed and progressive country attracted Ivan from Slovakia, who arrived four years ago after living in India, Spain, and Argentina. He now works in a non profit focused on technology and has built a new life and family in Uruguay.
