TRAVEL ICONS
Discover Punta del Este, the “Pearl of the Atlantic”, the Hamptons of South America and an oasis destination on the lovely Uruguayan coast.
This glamorous mile-long sandy peninsula bathed by the South Atlantic Ocean is known to the sailing lovers as a port of call for luxury sailboats on round-the-world adventures, nestled next to Argentina with Brazil only a short flight away.
South America’s favorite upscale vacation resort displays a wide array of tempting restaurants boasting freshly caught fish or Uruguayan style barbecues, all with a dramatic backdrop of the warm south American sun setting over the azure waters, or small cobblestone lanes leading to a typical arts and crafts open air late night market.
La Punta, as the initiated call it, offers the curious traveler an array of unmatched contrasts, a magic blend of traditional countryside and frivolous cosmopolitan life, a buzzing nightlife and unspoilt sandy beaches. Activities to discover the area are a plenty whether one wants to sail around the coast to watch sea lions bask in the sun, or take a horse ride inland and take in the smell of the pine trees.
Avenida Gorlero, in the heart of the town, with its scattered palm trees and outdoor cafes, also features art galleries, restaurants, and fancy stores, to satisfy the most demanding shopper, without resembling a metropolis of skyscrapers but rather keeping an old time charm with colonial style buildings.
Punta Ballena, to the west, a cliff that penetrates into the sea and looks from a distance like the back of a whale, displays dramatic scenery, an unforgettable seascape. In the right season, you may also catch a glimpse of the whales as they migrate along the coast…
