Paysandú
Known as "La Heroica" — The Heroic City — for its resistance during the Siege of Paysandú in 1864–65, this western Uruguayan city sits on the banks of the Uruguay River, directly across from the Argentine city of Colón and linked to it by the General Artigas international bridge. The fourth-largest city in Uruguay, Paysandú combines a riverside setting with a record of agriculture, manufacturing, and cultural life that makes it a practical base for the region.
