==West from [[Montevideo]] direction [[Colonia de Sactamento]]==
Take a bus from anywhere of montevideo with number 163 which will put u on the road 1. Do not get out on the first crossing of the highway,but on second. Ask the driver to tell u where. In Uruguay there are generaly very little number of cars as the country is low populated. U could wait for hours to find someone or walk... But in general this spot should be good one.
-- We (Julien from France and me) found a ride in 10 minutes,even though that for me alone in any part of Urugay it took at least 2 hours to move forward somewhere -- Suzann

==Food==
Don't forget to try alfajores, a cookie-ish delicacy. Opt for homemade ones or the brand Punta Ballena. And to maximize your experience, you'll need to drink a lot of mate. For Uruguayans, yerba mate is practically a religion. Everyone carries a thermos and a mate gourd pretty much everywhere they go. "Me convidas con un mate?" is a good way to start a conversation and make a new friend. If you really wanna make friends here, point out that Uruguay advanced further in the World Cup than its two football powerhouse neighbors. And of course, Forlan is better than Messi.
