Punta Del Este
Punta Del Este is a popular vacation destination located on the southern tip of Uruguay. Considered to be the dividing point between the Atlantic Ocean and the Rio de la Plata, it is one of only a few beach resorts in the world to have two different types of beaches. The first of these is known as La Brava and has large waves, making it an ideal spot for surfing. The second beach, referred to as La Mansa, has no waves and is a popular family destination. Lined by ocean front hotels and resorts, Punta del Este is a great place to relax and soak up some South American sun. |
