Uruguay is located in South America. The capital of the country is Montevideo, which is located on the south coast with its 1.2 billion inhabitants.

The climate is subtropical in the north and temperate in the south. The annual average temperature there is 16.5 ° C. The warmest month is January with about 22 ° C, while June is the coolest month with an average of 10 ° C. Inland, the mean annual temperature is slightly higher, mainly due to the warmer summer temperatures.

Only a few remnants of the once mighty, impenetrable bush forests have survived. The forest, mostly on the lower reaches of the rivers, today only takes up 5 percent of the national territory. Characteristic of the predominant form of vegetation in Uruguay are tall prairie grasses .

The most common mammals in Uruguay are deer, wild boar, otters, foxes, armadillos, anteaters and various rodents. Uruguay has the second largest colony of seals and sea lions (after Alaska), which is located on Isla de Lobos (= Seal Island , located in front of Punta del Este). Whales and dolphins have also been spotted.
