Punta del Este

The showcase of the Uruguayan summer: La Mano, Casapueblo and Playa Brava.

BeachCycling

Punta is where Uruguay puts on its party clothes. On one side the calm Playa Mansa, on the river; on the other the Brava, with waves and the La Mano sculpture rising out of the sand. Off season the same town is empty, cheap and great for walking.

What you should not miss

  • La Mano at Playa Brava
  • Casapueblo in Punta Ballena, at sunset
  • Isla de Lobos and boat trips
  • The harbour at dusk, with the sea lions
