Paranagua

Tucked along the rim of a serene, well-protected lagoon, prosperous Paranagua has been modernized to accommodate its growing status as one of Brazil’s most important ports for exporting coffee. Still, the city hasn’t forgotten its proud colonial past, which dates back more than 400 years. The historic center reveals treasures such as the Church of Sao Benedito, where slaves once worshipped, and the Museum of Archaeology and Popular Art, a former Jesuit college that now houses a fine collection of local artifacts, including intricate baskets, fine lace and fishing implements of the early Tupi-Guarani Indians. From Paranaqua, visitors can reach Iguaçu Falls, an amazing natural phenomenon comprised of 275 individual waterfalls that span the broad Iguaçu River, which separates Brazil from Argentina. Niagara Falls is but a trickle in comparison to this thundering, must-see attraction in the heart of the jungle.

Punta del Este

Punta del Este is a beautiful beach resort in Uruguay, perhaps the best known and most fashionable in South America. It spreads along a peninsula that juts out in the Atlantic Ocean with endless beaches of the most varied kinds. Its deep blue ocean, sand dunes, spectacular houses and gardens, good hotel infrastructure, marina and harbour, international airport, museums and art galleries, as well as a great setting to practice yachting, sailing, golf, polo and fishing, make Punta del Este the ideal place for a vacation. The area also boasts sophisticated shops, excellent restaurants, night-clubs and a luxurious casino. Worthwhile day trips include the laid back village of José Ignacio, with beautiful beaches and striking sunsets, La Pedrera with its dramatic seaside cliffs, or Laguna de Rocha, a National Park with abundant wildlife, or even Cabo Polonio, a nostalgic seaside fishing village tucked into the sand dunes along the ocean which can only be reached by horse-carriage or 4WD vehicles.

Montevideo

Slightly threadbare and charmingly out of date, Montevideo harks back to pre-war days when it was the "Switzerland of South America." Art deco and art nouveau façades reflect this flourishing past, while the impressive Plaza Independencia, with its colonnades and open-air cafés, is a perfect place to savor the present.
