Casapueblo is a unique cliffside structure and art museum in Punta Ballena, Uruguay, created by the artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. The whitewashed building offers stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and houses a museum, art gallery, and hotel. Accessibility can be a challenge due to the numerous stairs and uneven surfaces. While solo visits are possible, guided tours provide deeper insights into the artist's life and work. The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (spring or autumn) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. The cost for entry to the museum is approximately $10-15 USD. A typical visit lasts about 2-3 hours, allowing time to explore the art, enjoy the views, and perhaps have a meal at the restaurant.
