Begin your tour with a scenic drive through Punta del Este’s most fashionable and impressive neighborhoods. Pass through the residential areas of Cantegril, San Rafael, Parque Golf and La Barra de Maldonado. The latter is known for its unusual hanging bridges.
You’ll stop at the Ralli Museum of Contemporary Art to view its fine collection of paintings and sculptures by noted Latin American artists. Several pieces by Salvador Dalí are on permanent display.
You will drive past Punta del Este’s natural wonders -- its glorious beaches. Take advantage of a photo stop at Punta Ballena for sweeping views up and down the coast.
Visit Casapueblo, the home and workshop of internationally renowned artist Carlos Paez Vilaró. The dazzling white complex, resembling Moorish architecture, is situated on a rocky bluff overlooking the ocean. Vilaró built it in 1958 with his own hands, using only traditional tools. Narrow steps lead to a maze of rooms scattered on different levels and filled with the artist’s works.
Return to the pier via the picturesque coastal road.
