Punta del Este Day Trip
At the scheduled time, pickup will be arranged from your hotel in Montevideo as we embark on the journey to Punta del Este, traveling along the impressive Costa de Oro.
Our first destination is Punta Ballena, where we will visit the renowned Casapueblo citadel, created by Uruguayan sculptor Carlos Páez Vilaró. Initially built in 1958 with materials found on the beach, this wooden structure has transformed into a 13-story mansion that features a museum, art gallery, and hotel.
Next, we will explore Punta del Este, often referred to as the "Monaco of the South". During our tour, you will see the stunning mansions and summer residences in neighborhoods such as Beverly Hills, El Golf, Cantegril, and San Rafael.
Our route will continue towards the Undulating Bridge, leading us to Playa Brava and Playa Mansa. Here, we will encounter the iconic sculpture "The Hand" of Punta del Este rising from the sand, providing a perfect photo opportunity.
Lastly, we will arrive at the city center, where you will have 2.5 hours of free time for lunch and shopping in the local handicrafts market.
After approximately 10-11 hours of touring, we will depart from Punta del Este and return to Montevideo.
