Here lies the renowned Hotel Casapueblo Museum, crafted by artist Carlos Páez Vilaro. Please note, this point includes a 120-minute travel time from the start.
- Casapueblo - Entry to this site is optional, as the high number of visitors often results in long waits, potentially affecting the rest of the tour.
- Las Grutas - Located east of Punta Ballena, beneath the slopes and cliffs, is the quaint beach and resort of Las Grutas. It is a secluded world with hidden coves and caves.
- Playa Mansa - As we approach our main destination, the first stop is Playa Mansa. We will stroll along its boulevard, making stops to visit the beach, walk on wooden pathways, take photos, or enjoy other activities. We will also explore the residential neighborhoods along the coast.
- Puerto de Punta del Este - A quintessential and popular spot, where luxurious yachts and sailboats mingle with artisanal fishermen returning from the sea to sell their catch. Consequently, large sea lions often gather, waiting for leftover fish, posing for photos just meters from visitors.
- Avenida Gorlero - A local shopping area.
- Punta del Este - Concluding our walk through La Mansa and its surroundings, we will enter the Peninsula, the origin of the spa. We will explore its historical sites such as the Lighthouse (entry not permitted) and the Church of La Candelaria, along with its shopping center and the famous Gorlero Avenue.
We will traverse the entire Rambla de Circunvalación, passing the port on the west side, with views of Isla Gorriti, and on the east, the beaches of Los Ingleses and El Emir. Punta de la Salina, at its end, separates the RÃo de la Plata from the Atlantic Ocean and is the southernmost point of the country.
- Mano de Punta del Este - Before entering Playa Brava and its surroundings, our first stop will be at the iconic Los Dedos sculpture.
- Playa Brava - Playa Brava begins east of the Peninsula, with distinct features from La Mansa. After visiting Los Dedos, we will tour the entire boulevard and nearby neighborhoods such as San Rafael, Rincón del Indio, or Beverly Hills, making as many stops as desired.
- La Barra - We will reach the mouth of Arroyo Maldonado, where on the opposite side lies the La Barra spa. We will cross the famous undulating bridge and explore the commercial center, small beaches, and narrow streets.
- Manantiales - Beyond La Barra, there are a series of popular beaches frequented by the summer crowd, such as Bikini, Montoya, and Manantiales.
- Jose Ignacio - After Manantiales, it is a 20km journey along the coast to reach José Ignacio. Visiting this location depends on our pace and your specific interests.
