Punta del Este, a glamorous coastal city in Uruguay, is renowned for its beautiful beaches, upscale resorts, and vibrant nightlife. The city is generally accessible, with well-maintained roads and infrastructure, though some beach areas might pose challenges for those with mobility issues. Both solo exploration and guided tours are popular, offering different perspectives on the city's attractions. The peak season is during the South American summer (December to February), when prices are higher and the city is more crowded; visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) offers a balance of good weather and fewer tourists. A typical visit duration ranges from 3 to 7 days, allowing time to explore the beaches, enjoy the local cuisine, and visit landmarks like Casapueblo and La Mano (The Hand sculpture). The approximate cost can vary widely depending on accommodation and activities, but expect to spend between $100 to $300+ per day.
