Introduction: 10 days Itinerary in Uruguay
Uruguay is a one-of-a-kind type country. It is a chill and layback country with great vibes all around.
People are not stressed, and you feel it around you. We spent 10 days travelling in Uruguay from North to South following the coast.
We discovered amazing place and people. And had the chance to live a real local barbecue
The barbecue is made slowly. On one side there is the fire to made ember and on the other a grill for the meat. Slowly ember is put under the fire for 2h to have a slow cooking of the meat.
