Overview
Start your day trip in Montevideo with hotel pickup. Relax on the coastal drive to the lovely resort town of Punta del Este, which features the posh neighborhoods of San Rafael, Cantagril, and Beverly Hills. Your guide points out features of the landscape and shares the history of the region with onboard commentary.
Admire the seaside homes of La Barra del Maldonado, a charming old fishing town. Then continue on to visit two popular beaches. At Playa Brava, snap photos of the must-see sculpture by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal: "La Mano" (The Hand), also known as "Los Dedos" (The Fingers), depicts five human fingers protruding from the sand. On the other side of the peninsula enjoy the ocean views at Playa Mansa, where you have free time for lunch (own expense).
Afterward, head to Casa Pueblo, a Mediterranean-style villa and art gallery perched on a cliff atop Punta Ballena. Designed by Uruguayan painter and sculpture Carlos Páez Vilaró, the 9-story, whitewashed building includes a museum and gallery (own expense) where you can learn about the life of the artist and the history behind his creation.
After a full day touring Punta del Este, return back to your Montevideo hotel.

Nice trip to Casapueblo and Punta del Este beach(es)
Edwin_v, Mar 2026
It is a well organised trip though know it will be a big group Stops are relatively short so you can get a glimpse of the Casa but long enough for me, would you like to get more detail or be longer on the beach you have to book something private
Our tour guide, Andrea,...
Andrew_H, Jan 2026
Our tour guide, Andrea, was lovely, translating everything into 3 different languages. I would have docked a star for the bus being nearly an hour late for pickup, but they’d get the star back since I made a mistake during the booking process and they made the changes without issue. The bus was very spacious- one of the most spacious tour buses I’ve been on. Great legroom, great recline, USB charging port, and a bathroom with good AC. The day was long, but sites were great!
They never picked us up...

They never picked us up for the tour. There wasn’t good coordination between the local tour company and the corporate intermediary (not Viator). If you book this tour I would recommend making sure they have the right pickup location and that you have contact information for the tour guide so that you are able to guarantee participation.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
It was my fault, I´m really sorry and of course I have sent you a full refund. Among so many reservations, this one went wrong, apologies.
Great day in punta del Este.
Robin N, Dec 2025
The trip was nice. The scenery was beautiful and the tour guide was pleasant. My only complaint was that there majority of the tour was in Spanish with some English sprinkled in. The guide spoke English perfectly just not that often.
