Cayena Miami: 7 Things you Might not Know About Uruguay

Most peple don't really think about these things about Uruguay.

Uruguay is characterized by its strong culture and strong connection to other Latin American countries, with a decade-long friendly fight with other countries about cultural background, food, and traditions. But they have their own identity that makes their land one of the most beautiful and comfortable places to live in South America. Today I will talk to you about 7 of the best things this country has to offer to foreign and natives alike!

Uruguay is an exporting country: Although small, this country has a great amount of exportation for the world. From cattle to food produce, they have a great participation in the area's economic movement compared to bigger countries like Brazil or Argentina.

City names are recycled: While it might not be the correct term, it’s almost the only simple explanation to this, as they use almost the same set of names for different cities, making it a problem to travel without knowing this valuable bit of information.

Advocacy for technology: Giving school children computers and WiFi connections and having almost 95% of the population connected to public electrical systems are just some of the things they do to maintain their people happy. They are advocated for the growth of technology throughout their land.

They are not religious: You don’t have to worry about religion in this country. They have freedom of religion. For this reason, they don’t force an universal belief on their people. This goes as far as changing the name of traditional holidays to something more neutral: Holy Week is ‘Tourism Week’ and Christmas is ‘Family day’.

There’s a high sheep-human ratio: Yes, they have an incredible amount of sheets on their land. The quality of the produce is high, making a really sought after meat in the cuisine market. This market appreciated the devotion that they put into making great specimens for sale.

They are head on social fights: From abortion to same-sex marriage, Uruguay advocates for individual rights. there are laws in Uruguay to protect mothers when they terminate a pregnancy during the first trimester and it was the 19th country to legalize LGBT marriage.

Great national anthem: The length of this South American country's national anthem is roughly 5 minutes long, making it one of the longest in the world. The anthem is very powerful, moving, and nationalistic and it's a representation of their culture. Their flag has white and light blue stripes with the sun in the upper left corner: "No one insults the image of the sun!"
