Isla de Lobos

Reviewed By Michaelpery - Berlin, Germany

If you want to go to Isla de Lobos, there are some tours from Punta del Este. One tour leaves around 11.30 and come back at 14.00. Other tour leaves at 12.00 and come back around 14.00. If the weather is nice, you can swim with sealions around the island. Dont worry, the ones who lies on the island is territorial and if you get so close they bite. However, the ones whom swims are not dangerous. You can see these amazing creatures in the middle of sea. Highly recommended and tour prices are little bit expensive about 50usd.

Lighthouse of Cabo Polonio

Reviewed By greg_wanders - Auckland Central, New Zealand

We decided to go in the morning at 10 AM when the light house opened as the evening before it was very hazy and several people in line. The following morning however, we were the only ones and could take in the views peacefully. It costs about 30 UYU if i remember correctly, per person and you climb to the top. Even though it wasn't a sunny day, the views are surely worth it. With the small white houses dotted along the coastline on one side and the colorful streets on the other. Not to miss a clear view of the seal colony as well from above. Overall this was my favourite attraction in Cabo Polonio and offers the best views.

Isla Gorriti

Reviewed By gmuy - Montevideo, Uruguay

The ticket on Jan 2020 is Uruguayan Pesos 350 (about 9.5 USD). We brought food, beverages for a picnic on the beach under the shade of a tree. The views from the island are very nice. There are lots of trees and some trails between them which are nice too. We went to two beaches and finally chose the one protected from the wind. There is a British cemetery and a few very old cannon batteries built by the Spanish to defend the bay.

Playa Hermosa

Reviewed By juanmK4181NG

Playa Hermosa (Beautiful Beach) is a lovely long and wide Beach that is close to the city of Pirapolis. Not as busy as some of the better know beaches close by (Pirapolis, San Fransisco) but every bit as nice. A lovely spot to watch the sunset.
