Salto
Uruguay's second-largest city, Salto sits on the eastern bank of the Río Uruguay in the country's northwest, facing the Argentine city of Concordia across the water. The two cities are linked by a road and rail crossing over the Salto Grande dam, a binational hydroelectric project built on the rapids that gave the region its name. Regular flights connect Salto to Montevideo and Asunción, making it a practical base for the northwestern region.
