A Year in Uruguay

El Águila, the eagle, is an eccentric cabin built overlooking the sea near Atlántida. The eyes are windows, rumoured to have been used to watch for smugglers. There is a great view of the Rio from there. Now, the building is open to tourists, courtesy of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.



Atlántida also has a small zoo. Shown here are a ñandu and a carpincho, both native to Uruguay.
