Punta del Este is the most sophisticated and popular seaside resort in Uruguay and is twinned with St Tropez, France. The town sits on a peninsular and benefits from both calm ocean suitable for safe and easy swimming (La Mansa) and a rougher sea suitable for surfing (La Brava). A Centre of international jet set life in summer (mid December to end March) Punta del Este has a fantastic array of night life, restaurants and shopping for all tastes. Nearby José Ignacio is a charming fishing village. Day trips can be made into the interior of the country to experience the rural life of the local farmers (gauchos) and a visit to two nearby islands is also highly recommended.
