Meseta de Artigas

On our road trip to Salto yesterday, we stopped at the Meseta de Artigas, which is a hilltop area named for a famous general. We didn’t know anything about it from the map, but it was probably the highlight of our trip. It was certainly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.

The meseta overlooks the Rio Uruguay, which runs between Argentina and Uruguay. You can see both country’s shores, and a long expanse of the wide river.

The lighting was perfect, and plenty of people were up there enjoying the view, playing soccer, or dancing. We watched as fishermen in a few small boats slowly meandered around the river.

This is my new happy place. J
