Uruguay, officially the Oriental Republic of Uruguay is a nation located in the southeastern part of South America. Home to 3.3 million people, 1.7 million of which live in Montevideo and its metropolitan area. It is bordered by Brazil to the northeast, the Uruguay River to the west, the estuary of the Rio de la Plata (literally "River of the Silver", but also known in English as "River Plate") to the southwest, with Argentina on the other bank of both, and finally the South Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. It is the second smallest independent country in South America. According to Transparency International, it is the second least corrupt country in Latin America (after Chile). Uruguay's political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent. The climate in Uruguay is temperate, it has warm summers and cold winters. The predominantly gently undulating landscape is also somewhat vulnerable to rapid changes from weather fronts. It receives the periodic influence of the polar air in winter, and tropical air from Brazil in summer. Without mountains in zone that act as a barrier, the air masses freely move by the territory, causing fast variations of the climate. The coolest month is June, while the warmest is January. The rainfall is equally distributed throughout the year, but tends to be a bit more frequent in the autumn months.

Montevideo is the largest city, capital and chief port of Uruguay. Montevideo is the primate city in Uruguay, the only city in the country with a population over 1,000,000. Montevideo has a privileged harbour, one of the most important in the Americas. Also, it has beautiful beaches, like Pocitos, Buceo, Malvin, Playa de los Ingleses, Playa Verde, Punta Gorda and Carrasco. Many monuments and museums cover the city, as well as historic buildings and squares. According to the Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Montevideo is the Latin American city with the highest quality of life. It is among the 30 safest cities in the world and the second safest capital city. Montivideans have very strong European origins, with Italian and Spanish descent being the most common. There are also important African descent and Jewish communities. Rual Areas: Agriculture played such an important part in Uruguayan history and national identity until the middle of the twentieth century that the entire country was then sometimes likened to a single huge estancia (agricultural estate) centred around Montevideo, where the wealth generated in the hinterland was spent, at its casco or administrative head. As another saying went, "Uruguay es la vaca y el puerto" ("Uruguay is the cow and the port"). Today, agriculture contributes roughly 10% to the country GDP and is still the main foreign exchange earner, putting Uruguay in line with other agricultural exporters like Brazil, Canada and New Zealand. Uruguayan products opens the door to market who want "natural" or "ecological" products
