Punta del Este, a glamorous resort city in Uruguay, is renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and upscale amenities. Key attractions include Playa Brava with the iconic sculpture "Los Dedos," Playa Mansa's calm waters, and the picturesque harbor. Accessibility is generally good, though some beach areas may have limited access for those with mobility issues. Both solo and guided visits are viable, with guided tours offering deeper insights into the city's history and culture. The peak season is during the Southern Hemisphere's summer (December-February), with higher prices and larger crowds; visiting during shoulder seasons (spring/fall) offers a balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists. A moderate budget is recommended, with costs varying depending on accommodation and activities. A typical visit lasts 3-5 days to fully experience the city and its surroundings.
