A Year in Uruguay

When I first visited Parque Rodó it was winter and most of the amusement park rides weren't operating. In summer, I figured the rides would be running everyday. But, as the months passed, it became apparent than even on a hot weekend afternoon, almost no one was at the amusement park. It wasn't until we went to the feria del libro that I saw that the rides run after dark.

We went last night and rode a few rides. Different rides are operated by different companies who sell tickets (15-25 pesos per ride) at separate ticket booths. Afterwards, we ate churros at one of the many stands. The park wasn't crowded and there was never a line for a ride. Maybe they do more business on weekend nights.
