Rocha Department in Uruguay offers a diverse range of attractions, including beaches, lagoons, and nature reserves. Popular destinations include Punta del Diablo, known for its surfing and bohemian vibe, and Cabo Polonio, a remote village accessible only by 4x4 or horse. Accessibility varies greatly, with some areas easily accessible by car and others requiring specialized transport. Both solo and guided visits are feasible, depending on your comfort level with independent travel and desired level of engagement with the local culture and environment. Peak season is during the summer months (December-February), so expect higher prices and more crowds; the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) offer pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Costs can range from budget-friendly to upscale, depending on accommodation choices. A typical visit duration ranges from a few days to a week to fully explore the region.
