Uruguay Tango
Uruguay is still not very well known among tango tourists though it contributed
with it's roots strongly to tango's genesis.
In contrast to other places, tango in Uruguay is not commercialized
and nearly private.
The places to visit are very cheep, if not free and consequently
function irregularly. Please verify if the place of interest is still
open.
