Montevideo

Uruguay — Uruguay's laid-back capital and home of the first-ever World Cup (1930). Peñarol and Nacional play South America's oldest football derby at the Estadio Centenario. The Rambla seafront stretches for miles, the Mercado del Puerto is a carnivore's paradise, and the mate culture is an essential experience. Suárez, Cavani, and Valverde all came from here.
