Good comments Daniel. The small city where you took the ferry boat to Buenos Aires was Colonia del Sacramento. I have traveled by land (mostly bus) through most countries of central + south america, and lived in Chile for several years also. Uruguay is a good place for cycling, although I generally avoided the main roads and kept to the rural backroads. Lots of small towns scattered around, making it easy to find a place to eat and a place to stay while pedaling around.
