Itinerary and highlights
We’ll meet at the Port of Punta del Este to start our journey. Our first stop takes us through the upscale neighborhoods of San Rafael, Cantagril, and Beverly Hills, where you’ll admire luxurious residences and picturesque landscapes.
Next, we’ll visit La Barra del Maldonado, a charming former fishing village famous for its colorful seaside homes and its distinctive bridge designed to resemble ocean waves.
From there, we’ll continue to Playa Brava to see the iconic “La Mano” sculpture by Mario Irarrázabal, one of Punta del Este’s most recognizable landmarks and a must-stop for photos.
We’ll then enjoy the calm, scenic atmosphere of Playa Mansa, where the peaceful waters and coastal views offer a perfect contrast to the Atlantic side and a moment to simply take it all in.
Our tour concludes at Casa Pueblo, a Mediterranean-style villa and art gallery perched on a cliff in Punta Ballena. Designed by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, this unique nine-story structure is home to a museum and gallery (entry not included). Your guide will share stories about the artist’s life and the villa’s fascinating history.
