S14E6: Uruguay, the secret nugget

Philippe explores Uruguay, a small country with a rich railway history. He takes the only passenger train between Rivera and Tacuarembó, popular with the inhabitants of the pampas. His path crosses that of the gauchos and their traditional asado. In Paysandú, he discovers a 1929 Ford converted into a draisine. In Montevideo, the capital where more than half the population lives, he observes an Umbanda ceremony on the beach and travels in a train of enthusiasts on poorly maintained tracks. His journey ends in Punta del Este, a chic seaside resort, where he participates in the tasting of the largest paella in the world.
