Introduction

Uruguay - Punta del Este - 10

Uruguay - Punta del Este - 10

© All Rights Reserved AC Frieden

What the Copacobana is for many Brazilians, Punta del Este is for the people of Uruguay: a popular beach resort. Nothing more, nothing less. Unlike Copacobana though, the weather here is not always that good. Summers are the best season, with high temperatures from November to March. Spring and autumn are a good time for a visit as well, though winters are best avoided if beaches are your thing.
