About the country

About Uruguay

Uruguay is a small, calm South American country between Argentina and Brazil, on the shores of the Atlantic and the Río de la Plata. It is known for its long beaches, wide open countryside and unhurried pace of life. People strolling with a thermos and mate gourd, the beat of candombe drums and a strong passion for football are the images that best capture everyday Uruguayan culture.

Uruguay's General Spanish programme is in the capital, Montevideo. With the Rambla promenade running along the shore, the historic Ciudad Vieja and neighbourhoods you can explore on foot, Montevideo suits those who want to learn the language in a relaxed setting away from crowded metropolises. Here too you will hear Spanish spoken with the regional 'vos' form as part of daily life.
