The views from here are amazing and if you manage to go by when the artisans are out, the shopping is fun too. And on the weekends you'll find amazing parapenting/hangliders to color the skies and make use of the quite strong winds that blow through.

Best option in Punta del Este. Close to the airport. New Year Eve with Impressive Fires. White Sand. Plenty of little restaurants for night dinner. Magnificent view to Punta Ballena. Serenity at nights (good sleep). Horses to walk under moon light. And Starry indigo night to walk on the beach. Highly Recommended

Was the best Lunch we had in Uruguay. By far, a drive to Punta Ballena won't disapoint. The view is spectacular but stay for lunch at the even more stupendous Casa Pueblo. Up the cliff lives the not to be missed Club Hotel Casa Pueblo A mere three hundred pesos each, sent us -9 floors below the street gate into the cliff, only to explore the breath taking Las Terrazas and feast an enjoyable and incredible meal. A must do.

It was a great tour, we went to the winery to see the grapes growing this time of the year, while tasting different wines and home made bread and cheese. Then we went to this spectacular place Hacienda VIK in San Ignacio to learn more about wines, relax and enjoy the sunset. Very beautiful, interesting and romantic tour.
