Description

This walking tour of the peninsula will show you the most interesting landmarks of Punta del Este's peninsula. From Parada 1, Mansa Beach, we'll find the artsy promenade, Mansa and Brava beaches, and the birthplace of the "chivito" (Punta del Este's signature sandwich).

Next, we will see the Paseo de las Americas, a collection of sculptures by Latin American artists, including the picturesque “hand” on the beach. After that, it is time to check out Punta's most famous streets: Gorlero Ave, 20th St. (El Remanso), and the famous Rambla de Circumbalación (promenade). These include shopping areas, sights, restaurants, crafts, and gorgeous views of the bay and port, where we'll head next.

We'll learn about the port's history and see some local wildlife. To finish, we'll arrive at the lighthouse square, where the church and weather station can be found, just before finishing at Punta Salinas, the southernmost point in Uruguay, which is not short in scenery and history.

Guia Nelson muito bom Boas explicações, educado

Great English speaking guide

I do not speak any Spanish and of all the tours I have done this is the best tour in English in Uruguay. He explained everything very well, answered all the questions, was very patient with my slow walking and picked shady spots to stand as I was burning up in the sun. Best part for me for his true command on English language. Highly recommend this tour guide.

Maravilhoso

O Nelson é um ótimo guia, me ajudou e me deu várias dicas sobre a cidade. Muito inteligente e simpático, fez questão de fazer o tour somente comigo, mesmo que as outras pessoas que marcaram tenham faltado. Contou muito sobre a história da cidade e os pontos locais, deixando-me ao final com a visão linda do porto e dos leões marinhos ❤️ Este tour vale muito a pena para conhecer Punta del Este, sem falar que o guia fala um bom português também! Sou muito agradecida a ele e o recomendo demais, principalmente para o seu primeiro dia na cidade!
