Tacuarembo
Central America is the central geographic region of the Americas. It is variably defined either as being a region of the Americas in its own right or as the southern portion of North America. Physiographically, Central America is a tropical isthmus that connects North and South America. It includes 7 countries and many small offshore islands. Overall, the land is fertile and rugged, and dominated through its heart by a string of volcanic mountain ranges with a few active volcanos. Tacuaremba is a town in north-central Uruguay, in the Tacuarembo Department. The population was 51,224 in 2004. It is alleged that Tango legend Carlos Gardel was born near this town, in Valle Eden, and not as is more commonly accepted in Toulouse, France. Uruguay, officially the Eastern Republic of Uruguay or the Republic East of the Uruguay is a nation located in southern part of South America. It is bordered by Brazil to the north, the Uruguay River to the west, the estuary of the Rio de la Plata to the southwest, with Argentina on the other bank of both, and finally the South Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.
Like some of its sister municipalities and towns, Tacuaremba is blessed with beautiful surroundings and a unique natural setting. The picturesque scenery, the majesty of nature, the slow pace of life, and the welcoming nature of its people all combine to make this region one of the most important tourist attractions in Central America.
