Nueva Palmira, Uruguay, is an important port city in the department of Colonia in southwestern Uruguay, located at the confluence of the Uruguay River and the Rio de la Plata, about 300 kilometers from the capital city of Montevideo. As the second largest port in Uruguay, the city is an important outlet for the landlocked countries of Paraguay and Bolivia, and serves as a hub for the transshipment of bulk commodities such as grain and timber.
Nuevo Paris was founded in 1831 and takes its name from the vision of its founders to model the layout of the city after that of Paris. The city's economy is based on port logistics, agro-processing and tourism, and it has one of the most modern grain terminals in South America, with a capacity of over 8 million tons per year. The surrounding region is rich in agricultural products such as soybeans and wheat, and a wine industry is emerging.
The city retains its colonial architecture, with landmarks including the San Antonio Church and the Riverwalk. The International Fishing Festival, held every January, attracts many visitors, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Freibenthos Industrial Landscape is nearby. With a population of about 10,000, the city is known for its peaceful riverfront scenery and slow pace of life.
