I've only been to Uruguay once, and while my visit was pleasant enough, the country's attractions to visitors seemed modest. If you're in BA, though, is it worth going for a steak?
I can buy beef from Uruguay close to home (in Berkeley) as well as other fine beef, from which the cow had a loving birthname and peaceful euthanasia, raised within 75 miles of home, nary a kernel of Monsantobayer (tm) in sight. No rush to return to Uruguay just for a steak. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby that will recite the cow's name and how the last rites were performed when you order.
