The Moon, slightly too small to cover the Sun, will leave a ring of it for 5 min 36 s, from 12:35:57 to 12:41:33 (local time in Montevideo). At maximum, at 12:38:45, the Sun will stand 70° above the horizon, towards the north.

That day the Moon is slightly too far from the Earth to cover the whole Sun: at maximum it leaves a bright ring. The sky darkens noticeably but never becomes night, and eye protection remains necessary from start to finish, ring included.
The annular phase lasts 5 min 36 s, from 12:35:57 to 12:41:33; the partial phase ends at 14:21:07.
Times and geometry computed by Novilune for the point 34.9632° S, 54.9440° W (altitude 11 m), from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's DE441 ephemeris, with ΔT = 69.2 s. The uncertainty on ΔT (± 5 s) shifts all the times together by a few seconds at most; atmospheric refraction is not applied (it does not change the contact times appreciably at this altitude of the Sun).
Times are given in local time in Montevideo (UT -03:00).
Novilune draws this eclipse as it will be seen from Punta del Este — the two discs at maximum, the Moon's path, the map of the path of totality — and does the same for every new moon from 2000 BC to AD 3000, for any place on Earth, offline.
