5.00Our guide to explained to us that our cruise port visit happened to fall on a Sunday, which means many of the regular stops are closed. We asked her to do what she could to show us local cuisine, typical of what she’d have on the regular tour. She was able to find us representative Urugyan food and shared some stories of being native to Montevideo. We appreciated Perla’s hospitality!
