Activity itinerary

Puerto de Punta del Este

  • 30m
The port is one of the most lively areas of Punta del Este, where yachts, fishing boats, and sea lions coexist. Here you'll observe the famous sea lions resting near the docks while learning about the city's maritime roots, fishing traditions, and how tourism shaped Punta del Este's economy. This stop opens the door to conversations about local life, seasonal tourism, and the balance between nature and development.

Mano de Punta del Este

  • 15m
This iconic sculpture, created by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal, is one of the most recognisable landmarks of Punta del Este. Located on Playa Brava, it was installed in 1982 and quickly became a symbol of the city. This stop is ideal for photos and for understanding how public art, the beach, and the city's international image came together to shape Punta del Este's identity.

Faro de Punta del Este (Pass by)

The Punta del Este lighthouse, built in the 19th century, stands as a historic landmark guiding ships along the Atlantic coast. Passing by, you can appreciate its simple architecture and the strategic location that made this point important for navigation and the city's maritime history.

Casapueblo

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
Casapueblo is a unique architectural masterpiece created by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. Overlooking the ocean, this cliffside structure blends art, architecture, and nature. During this visit, you'll learn about the artist's philosophy, cultural identity, and how Casapueblo became a symbol of creativity, spirituality, and Uruguay's artistic heritage.

Mirador Punta Ballena

  • 15m
This scenic viewpoint offers sweeping panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding landscapes. It's an ideal moment to pause, enjoy the scenery, and reflect on Punta del Este's natural beauty while discussing geography, environmental preservation, and the contrast between urban life and untouched nature.

Iglesia Candelaria

  • 15m
Built in 1911, this small church is part of Punta del Este's everyday urban landscape. Its simple design and central location make it a quiet contrast to the city's beach and resort atmosphere, offering a moment to observe how public spaces, history, and culture coexist in one of Uruguay's most modern seaside towns.

Playa Brava (Pass by)

Facing the open Atlantic, Playa Brava is known for its wide shoreline, strong waves, and expansive ocean views. As we pass by, it highlights the raw, natural side of Punta del Este and the contrast between the city's urban life and the power of the sea, shaping both the landscape and the local lifestyle.

Avenida Gorlero (Pass by)

Avenida Gorlero is the commercial heart of Punta del Este. Passing through this area provides insight into the city's urban development, local commerce, and how seasonal tourism shapes daily life, employment, and infrastructure.

Cuartel de Dragones (Pass by)

Located in nearby Maldonado, this historic military building dates back to colonial times. It offers a gateway to discussing Uruguay's early defence systems, Spanish influence, and the strategic importance of the region during the colonial period.

Plaza Torre del Vigia (Pass by)

As we pass by this historic area, I'll tell you about the old watchtower that once stood here with the role of protecting the region. This stop allows us to connect Maldonado's colonial past with the present, discussing communication, defence, and how the city grew around these early strategic points.
