The Río de la Plata (in Spanish Silver River) is the estuary formed by the combination of the Uruguay River and the Parana River. The Silver River is wide, shallow, and cloudy. It is the widest estuary in the world. It is a funnel-shaped bay on the coastline of South America and extends all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. It forms part of the border between Argentina and Uruguay. Uruguay’s capital Montevideo, also has many beaches. They include, Pocitos Beach, Ramirez Beach, Buceo Beach, and Malvin Beach. “Buceo Beach is among Montevideo's most picturesque, with calm waters and a pleasant marina lined small boats and yachts. Its tranquility makes it an option for families, while sports activities are common both on the sand and on the water; Buceo is known for its windsurfers. Adjacent to the beach is a bar and Montevideo's Oceanographic Museum.” Parque Rodo is Uruguay's top amusement park. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADo_de_la_Plata https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Rio_de_la_Plata http://traveltips.usatoday.com/beaches-montevideo-uruguay-106354.html 2.
