Description
If you visit Montevideo, you cannot miss the Andes 1972 Museum, dedicated to the tragic plane crash in the Andes that shocked the world, and the traditional Facal Bar full of stories from 1882.
Bar Facal is one of the most traditional places in downtown Montevideo, also famous for the fountain of the padlocks and the statue of Carlos Gardel, a place you can not miss.
Lunch includes the traditional Uruguayan Chivito with bread, homemade dulce de leche ice cream and 01 drink (soda, water or glass of wine).
In front of the bar there is street tango dancing from Monday to Saturday at noon.
In addition, they give away 1 padlock engraved with the name of the lovers (1 for every two people).
Museo Andes is a tribute to that Friday, October 13, 1972, when a Fairchild 227 plane with 45 people on board, crashed in the Andes. Thus begins one of the most incredible survival stories of mankind.
The group of Uruguayans, composed of young rugby players, their friends and families, was forced to undertake a titanic battle against adversity.
The museum is dedicated to the 45 people who were on board that October 1972 flight and especially to those 29 who did not return. It is also intended as a tribute to the 16 compatriots who "came back to life" after 72 long and hellish days of hunger, pain, suffering, despair... and hope for a tomorrow.
