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…

Vagabond Gourmet brings the dream that is Punta del Este closer to you: Leafy stretches of pine trees, forty miles of pristine, lazy sand beaches, a thrilling nightlife and shopping scene, complete with casinos, prestigious shops as well as local crafts, trendy restaurants… Enjoy them all in one package that includes cooking classes to enliven your senses and perpetuate the Uruguayan tradition of hospitality and good food.

Yield to temptation with our all inclusive seven day package taking you on a journey into the Uruguayan culture with a blend of cooking classes but also activities to help you relax and enjoy the wonderful sights that this rich country offers. Day trips will allow you to discover the colonial past of Uruguay, with its Spanish forts, the hilly landscape with the green pastures that feed its tasty beef, the gauchos’ exceptional horsemanship, the rhythm of tango in Montevideo, and “Casa Pueblo”, the white stucco impressive art-building which houses the museum, gallery and home of artist Carlos Paez Vilaró. And why not amaze your friends and family back home by indulging in a few tango lessons while in the world’s cradle for this sensual and renowned passionate dance.
