Rivera:
Rivera is a city in Uruguay. It is the capital of the department of Rivera in Uruguay with a population of 64,426 (2004 census). Rivera is located exactly on the border with Brazil, and with the Brazilian city of Santana do Livramento, right across the border line, just a street away, it forms an international city of 200.000 inhabitants.
The border community is unusual as inhabitants from both Livramento (Brazil) and Rivera (Uruguay) are free to move anywhere throughout the twin city community. It is easy for one to get lost in the suburbs and not know if he is in Brazil or Uruguay. Customs and checkpoints are located outside the cities.
