Brazilian guaraná brands sit on Rivera's kiosk shelves as routinely as any Uruguayan soda, an everyday sign of how thoroughly the open border with Santana do Livramento blends the two countries' shopping habits.

A bright, fruity carbonated soft drink made from the guaraná berry is sold ice-cold from kiosks and grills throughout Rivera. It's a common drink paired with Brazilian-style grilled snacks along the border.

Why it's made this way: Rivera's constant cross-border traffic with Brazil keeps Brazilian brands like guaraná soda stocked and popular in a way not seen elsewhere in Uruguay.
