Old Time Town
This is a top pick! All you can do is step back in time. So that`s what I did in the less than flourishing town of Fray Bentos. Frigorifico Having heard from a guy on a bus that the old meat extraction plant at Fray Bentos was an interesting tour, I put it on my list of ...
The Liebig Extract of Meat Factory

Bridge To Nowhere, NoHow, NoWay
I'd read about the bridge before we left home--an International Bridge over the Rio Uruguay between two friendly countries, Argentina and Uruguay. And I was happy to learn that it was at Frey Bentos, where we were going to be staying. Fantastic! We'll ...
Corned beef memories
... ; We could well face a bill from the hotel for redecorating the previously brilliant white walls that are now spattered with black smudges. Fray Bentos is not the liveliest of towns and our choices for eating at night were limited to a couple of simple ...
