The Uruguayan Riviera, located in southeastern Uruguay, is a tranquil coastal resort on the Atlantic coast near the well-known tourist city of Punta del Este. Known for its long stretches of white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and laid-back atmosphere, the resort attracts travelers looking for a high-end experience. The resort boasts boutique hotels, golf courses and Michelin restaurants, and is surrounded by wine estates and nature reserves where you can experience specialty activities such as surfing, equestrian or whale watching. With a greater emphasis on privacy and natural beauty than the bustle of Punta del Este, the Riviera is a great example of Uruguay's "low-key luxury" tourism, suitable for family vacations, couples' honeymoons, or meditation trips.
Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country.

A blend of traditional Timacu culture and modern townscape, Samu offers a unique look at the interior of Timor-Leste.
