The experience

The tour starts at the lighthouse and moves through the city's core landmarks in a minivan. You'll see the Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria church, the first church built in Punta del Este, then reach the point where the Río de la Plata meets the Atlantic Ocean: a strategic vantage point for understanding the geography. The Viera Bridge, built in 1964, is known for its distinctive format and marks another stop on the route.

The Hand of Punta del Este, sculpted by Chilean artist Mario Irrarazabal in 1981, sits on Brava beach and is the emblem of the city. You'll stand in front of it and take in the Atlantic views. Casapueblo, perched on the coast, houses a museum with paintings by Carlos Paez Vilaro and offers panoramic views that define how most visitors picture the resort. The Ralli Museum, located in the Beverly Hills neighborhood, has free entry and displays works by Salvador Dalí and other artists.

Your guide speaks English, Spanish or German and travels with you throughout. The minivan has air-conditioning, and bottled water is provided. Wifi is available onboard. The tour is designed for cruise passengers with limited time in port, so pickup from your ship is included and the route is built to fit a port day.
