    Montevideo, Uruguay
    • Montevideo, Uruguay
    Montevideo enjoys a scenic setting on La Plata River. The Portuguese were the first to settle here, seeking a strategic advantage near open ocean. But Spain, already having established Buenos Aires nearby, expelled them in 1724. This was the beginning of the golden era of Montevideo's Ciudad Vieja, or Old City: within its walls, some of the most impressive colonial-era buildings were built, from the Legislative Council building to the stunning Montevideo Metropolitan Cathedral. The wall has long since disappeared, but the character of old Montevideo remains. ...

But the heritage of the original immigrants lives on in the region's distinctive windmills and chapels. Several towns have retained their Welsh names; Puerto Madryn was named for the estate of Sir Love Jones-Parry, one of the colony's founders.

    Punta Arenas was founded as a penal colony by Chile in 1848.

Quaint Victorian-era architecture recalling its 19th-century affluence and steeply sloped barrios are linked by ascensores, or funiculars, and winding byways. From Los Cerros, the views are spectacular. ...
