Itinerary
Welcome to Uruguay! We will be waiting for you at the meeting point in the Port of Montevideo to start our journey to Punta del Este. The drive takes about 2 hours, a perfect time to settle in while your guide introduces you to Uruguay’s culture, history, and customs.
Upon arrival, we’ll explore the upscale neighborhoods of San Rafael, Cantagril, and Beverly Hills, admiring luxurious residences and picturesque landscapes. Next, we’ll visit La Barra del Maldonado, a charming former fishing village known for its picturesque seaside homes and the fun bridge that mimics ocean waves. We’ll then head to Playa Brava, where you’ll have the chance to photograph the famous “La Mano” sculpture by Mario Irarrázabal, an iconic artwork featuring five human fingers emerging from the sand. Enjoy the ocean views at Playa Mansa, where you’ll have some free time to savor lunch (not included). Our tour continues to Casa Pueblo, a Mediterranean-style villa and art gallery perched on a cliff in Punta Ballena. Designed by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, this nine-story building houses a museum and gallery (entry not included). Your guide will share fascinating stories about the artist’s life and the history of this unique creation.
After a full day exploring Punta del Este, we’ll return to the port, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this stunning city.

About Montevideo
Montevideo is Uruguay's relaxed capital on the Río de la Plata, with an old-town peninsula, a long seafront promenade and a love of grilled meat.
Montevideo spreads along the north shore of the Río de la Plata, where the river is as wide as a sea. The Ciudad Vieja, the old town on a small peninsula, is where the city began in the 1720s, a district of Art Deco and colonial buildings. Plaza Independencia opens onto it, with the Palacio Salvo tower and the statue and mausoleum of José Artigas, the national hero, and the Teatro Solís, opened in 1856, stands nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Montevideo: Rambla of Montevideo (Rambla de Montevideo), Montevideo Independence Plaza (Plaza Independencia), Montevideo Port Market (Mercado del Puerto).
