Live · Salto, Uruguay · 31°23′S 57°58′W
Live in Salto. A city on the move.
Utility-scale solar, the citrus and market gardens that feed the country, an international airport with a flight school and a university where computing engineering is taught: Salto produces and innovates. This is the door to everyday life: what's on, getting around and what living here costs, piece by piece.
