About This Tour

A private day trip pairing Punta del Este's beaches and Casapueblo with a stop in the fishing town of La Barra del Maldonado, skipping the crowded group-bus route entirely.

La Barra del Maldonado is the fishing-and-surf community just east of Punta del Este, a distinct feel from the peninsula itself: smaller, quieter, and known for its beaches and bohemian cafés. Skipping the big group coaches means a stop here can be as short or long as you like.

Casapueblo, the Mediterranean-style complex at Punta Ballena, was built by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, who drew on the mud nest of the hornero bird; it started as his summer home and workshop. The peninsula's two beaches, Playa Mansa (calm, estuary side) and Playa Brava (open ocean), show Punta del Este's two faces side by side.
