Itinerary and highlights

Punta Del Este's port - This is traditionally the finish line when walking through the promenade. You will see fancy restaurants and the iconic viewpoints 'Glorieta de Punta Del Este'
seeing sealions + tasting 'pasteles' + spot for pictures of gorriti island.,

Plaza del Vigía is located in the city of Maldonado, Uruguay.

It is a square where a tower, an ancient cannon and where “Marco de los Reyes” landmark is displayed, which demarcated the Spanish territories from the Portuguese according to a Treaty of 1750.

One of downtown's historical sites - it is located right in front of Maldonado's Square dating from 1800s, where we can observe the center of the city's movement and everyday life in Uruguay.

The Ralli Museum of Uruguay, located in the city of Punta del Este, is a museum of contemporary Latin American art, one of the most important in the world, and of European art. Founded in 1988, it is the first of the Ralli museums to open its doors.

The Punta del Este Lighthouse is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, in Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay. It was built in 1860. It is a cylindrical masonry tower, a dome with white and red radial stripes and white buildings 25 meters high at the foot. Materials from Europe were used for its construction.

The hand is a sculpture of five fingers partially submerged in sand, located at stop 1 of Brava beach in Punta del Este, Uruguay. It is colloquially referred to as The Fingers or Man Emerging into Life.

(Optional) - Subject to time availability.

This bridge, due to its undulating shape, is among the most famous in the country, and one of the unmistakable emblematic postcards of Punta del Este.

Punta Ballena - This area of the city is much appreciated by locals, as it provides one of the greatest spots for sunsets. The downgoing hill shapes as the flukes of a whale (reason for its name), and is also the host for Casa Pueblo - museum arthouse designed by Carlos Páez Vilaró - a nationwide well-known artist and muralist par excellence.

Entry tickets to the museum are not included, but can be purchased directly onsite, or online.

Casapueblo - In its rooms, paintings, ceramics and sculptures made in different stages of artistic work are exhibited. The Museum has a movie theater, where documentaries about Carlos Paez' life and work are shown.

Throughout the route, which includes five rooms and three terraces, the concept of modeled architecture is perceived, whether through its passageways, paths, archways or objects embedded in the walls.

Located in the quaint heart of Punta Del Este´s downtown area (Maldonado), we will visit the 'Dragons Headquarters'. This emblematic stop point takes on important historical significance, as it housed the start of the military career of José Gervasio Artigas - one of the most relevant patriotic figures of Uruguay. Constructed around 1797 with a distinctive architectonical style that makes it stand out from the rest of our stopping points around Punta Del Este.
