Uruguay Avenue[b] is an avenue of the historic centre of Lima, Peru. It begins at its intersection with the Jirón de la Unión and continues until it reaches Alfonso Ugarte Avenue, where its path is continued by Venezuela Avenue, which crosses the entirety of the city until it reaches Callao.
Both Uruguay and neighbouring Venezuela avenues were formerly a single avenue known as Progress Avenue (Spanish: Avenida del Progreso), and were inaugurated under the government of Augusto B. Leguía in 1924,[1] the first of its kind in the country.[2]
