Beautiful day and view of the port. From fishing boats to fine yachts, it is a nice stroll. Clean and safe for visitors. Enjoy the fresh fish market and watch the vendor clean and sell fish.

We spent several days in the area of Jose Ignacio and Punta Del Este and on the last day of our holiday our guide brought us to Fundacion Pablo Atchugarry where we had the good fortune to meet the great man himself! Although hard at work with his team in his atelier, he took time to talk to us about his work and show us around. His marble sculptures are beautiful and a joy to behold. Make sure to see his Pietà located in the little chapel. Works of many other artists are on display in the sculpture garden and there is also an art gallery on the site. The addition of a cafe would greatly add to the enjoyment of the visit as this is a place where one wishes to linger. When visiting Uruguay this is a ‘must see’ place if you have any interest in art.

Here you will find some of the most unique and strange automobiles. They have amassed an array of autos from near by collectors. Some old - some newer. You will enjoy yourself , it is well worth the little bit of money they ask for, and you will learn something. The lady at the front desk speaks fluent English and is quite knowledgeable about the history of the collection.

This is either a day tour or a few days of vacation visit to a beach sector. Once you are starting the entrance of the city you'll see beautiful houses and near to the beach a lot of apartments buildings. In a strategic point of the beach they have the Dedos Sector, a sculpture simulating the finger of the hand. Many restaurants and shops surround the area. Nice place to stay.

They aren't pink! This is a site to see. Yes, too many people climbing on them but...If you build it, they will come! It does have a boardwalk to walk around the fingers. Many statues up the beautiful beach worth seeing. Nice shops and restaurants as well. Great day trip.
