The Story of Montevideo
Starting location: Mercado del Puerto
Once, Uruguay was part of the Spanish Empire. In the early 19th century, José Gervasio Artigas, Uruguay’s greatest freedom fighter, rose up with his army to fight for independence. He defeated the Spanish troops and founded several independent provinces.
But Brazil, newly freed from Portugal, disagreed. They believed Uruguay belonged to them and started hunting Artigas. Hiding in Montevideo, he realized he had no choice but to flee the city. Rumor had it there was a secret exit somewhere, but could he find it before the Brazilians did?
