The most famous "balneario" (seaside city) in the country and one of the most exclusive in Latin America.
The beauty of its geography is combined with an unparalleled urbanization.
The area covered by this destination really includes around 50km of coastline between what is Punta Ballena (at the West) and José Ignacio (at the East).
At the end of the day you can be sure that you visited all the interesting places in the area.

Any agreed spot in Montevideo
The most common thing is to depart from the Hotel where you are staying since this is a Tour that will take us all day, but if you are arriving by plane or ferry and want me to wait for you at the port or airport to take you directly to Punta of the East and take the Tour upon our arrival, no problem, we combine it perfectly.
Whether for this or any other day trip, I recommend having breakfast at the hotel as early as possible so we can hit the road early in the morning.
In this way we have more time to enjoy and take advantage of the day, knowing more places.
Remember that this is a Private Tour, so it is you who set the departure and arrival times.
The times marked as start and end times are approximate, taking as a reference what hotels commonly set for the start of breakfast.
But everything can be accommodated to your preferences.
If you like to go out without breakfast, we can coordinate it perfectly, and then if you like, we stop somewhere on the way, so you can make the most of the day at your destination and give yourself time to see more places.
When leaving at dawn, there is also generally less traffic and less time is lost on the route.
I recommend being prepared for temperature variations since we leave at dawn and return at night.
Here begins the area of our tour, a high point of rocks that juts out into the sea and offers a spectacular view on both sides.
Here is the famous Hotel Casapueblo Museum, built by the artist Carlos Páez Vilaro.
Already entering our main destination, the first thing we have is this beach.
We will walk along its boulevard making stops to go down to the beach, walk along the wooden walkways, take photos or whatever you like.
We will also enter their residential neighborhoods.
At the end of the Mansa Beach we arrive at the Peninsula, which is the origin of the city and the actual downtown.
We will visit its historical places such as the Lighthouse and the Candelaria Church and its shopping center and famous Gorlero Avenue.
Rambla Circunvalación and Punta de la Salina that separates the Río de la Plata from the Atlantic Ocean and is the southernmost point of the country.
In the Marina you will see luxurious yachts and sailboats are combined with artisanal fishermen who return from the sea and sell their fish.
Large sea lions always come to wait for the fishermen to throw them leftover fish, so they are on the pier a few meters from the people, like “posing for a photo”.
We will visit is the famous sculpture of Los Dedos, a mandatory stop for all visitors.
Then, we will tour the entire "Rambla" and the adjacent neighborhoods such as San Rafael, Rincón del Indio, or Bevery Hills, making as many stops as you like.
We will cross the Maldonado Stream through the famous undulating bridge and visit the small beaches shops and its narrow streets.
All this places have a different style from Punta del Este.
After Manantiales another seaside drive of 20km and we arrive to José Ignacio, its lighthouse and small but exclusive village and neighborhoods.
Here we will stop to have lunch in one of the local restaurants.
After Jose Ignacio we will begin to return slowly towards the Peninsula, making all the stops you like.
We will finally stop at the Punta del Este downtown so you can walk along the famous Gorlero Avenue, its shops and the Handscrafts Market.
At about this time we start our way back to Montevideo.
We will be returning to the Hotel where we left at approximately 1930hrs, depending on traffic on the road..

I welcome you to this small and beautiful country.
Meeting people who are traveling, interested in discovering new places, cultures and traditions is not a job for me, I enjoy it.
After the tours the guests generally become friends, that has been my style and general approach in my years of experience supporting visitors.
I was captivated by the natural world from a very young age and made my passion to explore and investigate my country which led me to visit practically all of it, and anyway, not only the best known places but also those little hidden spots that often go unnoticed. Travel all kinds of routes, roads, and trails. Camping in hills, forests and beaches. Paddle through rivers, streams, and the open sea.
Knowing the history, art and microcultures of each region was always the essential complement to the above, which in my opinion is what ends up making the identity of each place.
These concerns later led me to live in other latitudes, where geographical and cultural exploration was constant.
There I realized that sharing with other people the knowledge that one acquires on the roads and communities filled me greatly, and I could contribute to these visitors who came for a few days much more than traditional options.
What I offer you here is exactly that, share my knowledge and show you that each place in Uruguay not only has its own natural beauties, but also history, legends, traditions, architecture, art and characteristic gastronomy.
When you return to your land, will remember that you not only visit what everyone knows about Uruguay but also explore secret spots that only locals frequent.
My goal is to show you the most beautiful, interesting, and unique places in a very private tour, so that when you leave, you can be assured that you really got to know Uruguay, its culture, and its people.
Hoping you find this proposal interesting, I will be very happy to be your guest here and explore this beautiful country together.
