The process of buying tickets was very quiet. Everything went very well. Only at the time of finding the vouchers in my email I had a little difficulty. Access was done normally.
Worth a visit
Leonardo_S, Dec 2025
The place is nice, but it is very crowded on sunset. It is a good experience overall. Be aware of direct sunlight after 5 pm. There could be more information on how it workds, where to go, what to do, but staff is very friendly.
Itinerary
Museo – Taller de Casapueblo
Casapueblo is a building constructed by the Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. It is located in Punta Ballena, 8.1 miles (13 kilometers) from Punta del Este, Uruguay. It was originally a summer house and workshop of the artist. It now houses a museum, an art gallery, a cafeteria and a hotel. It was the permanent residence of its creator, where he worked and spent his last days.
In the main dome of Casapueblo are the museum and workshop where you can see part of the work of the late painter, potter, sculptor, muralist, writer, composer and builder Carlos Páez Vilaró. It has four exhibition halls: Nicolás Guillén Room, Pablo Picasso Room, Rafael Squirm Room, José Gómez Sicre Room, projection room, the Mermaid Terrace, Hippocampus Viewpoint, Taberna del Rayo Verde, coffee shop and boutique.
Every afternoon since 1994, the Ceremony of the Sun is performed on the terraces of the museum. Minutes before sunset, the artist's voice from a recording dedicates a poem to the sun to bid the sun farewell.
