Fray Bentos
Fray Bentos gave its name to the world-famous canned meat pies, but the Uruguayan town on the Uruguay River is also home to the industrial complex that started it all — the former Liebig meat-packing plant, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Fray Bentos Industrial Cultural Landscape. The town sits on the river's eastern bank, connected to Argentina by the Libertador General San Martín Bridge, and officially founded in 1859 under the name Villa Independencia.
