From the "First Free Town in America" to another that totally resisted European colonialism to the point where it was also given autonomy by Royal decree in the 1700's. It's one of only 2 Native American peoples to militarily do so in the Americas; the most known are the Mapuches in Chile. However, less known are the desert dwelling people of Northern South America; the Wayuu. They are the most numerous indigenous nation in both Venezuela and Colombia and achieved the impossible of resisting the European colonial powers on various fronts. They feature in the famous French novel and movie; Papillon.
I'd say Argentina. The nation itself has the most beautiful looking women, to add their country never had woes, upsets, or feuds with another. Argentinian cuisine I have yet to try, even so the atmosphere I haven't been to ever!

In fact Colombia made a very noble gesture in protesting the triple alliance war and extending citizenship to any Paraguayan who should ever need it after the most devastating war to a single nation in modern times at the hands of Brazil, Argentina & Uruguay where two thirds of its population was killed and 90% of its male population extinguished; it was very nearly wiped off the map.
The government of Colombia officially proclaimed in 1870 that "No Paraguayan will ever become a pariah in Latin America and that if the nation of Paraguay should cease to exist they would automatically be given Colombian citizenship upon arriving in Colombian territory."
