    I recently went to Montevideo, exploring it as a potential future home (for now, it's Medellin, Colombia). I'd been to Uruguay before, but never bothered with the capital, because the truth be told, it's the city where most Uruguayans live, not play.

The exceptional ecotourism of Rocha

Two hours' drive east from Montevideo and a little over an hour from Punta del Este lies a stretch of coast some 180 kilometres (112 miles) long that's been the secret of a few in-the-know Uruguayans and fewer neighboring Argentines, and even fewer other foreign visitors - with wild sand dunes, little villages, sea-lion colonies, whale watching (October and November), and unspoilt white-sand beaches such as Punta del Diablo, Cabo Polonia, Santa Teresa (top), and La Paloma.
