Punta Del Este is a resort town at the tip of the Punta Del Este Peninsula bordered by Atlantic Ocean on the east side and the peaceful lagoon on the west side. Punta del Este is divided into two parts. Though they are totally contrasting, they are part of the same place: Playa Mansa (Quiet beach) and Playa Brava (Rough Beach).
When we got off the ship, we found a local tour which will take us to several tourist attractions including the famous sculpture known as "The Hand on the Sand", The Church of Our Lady of Candelaria, "Casapueblo", a majestic masterpiece made by Uruguayan sculpture Carlos Páez Vilaró, and the waving bridge in La Barra area which is a rich neighborhood near Punta Del Este.

After the tour, they dropped us off at downtown of Punta Del Este, and we walked around by ourselves to tour the town. We passed by Playa el Emir, and Rambla General Jose Artigas (boardwalk) and the fashion street (Calle 20). The weather was nice and we had a wonderful self walking tour of the city.
BTW, it was a surprises for us to have this opportunity of visiting a Uruguay city.
