Apr 13 Punta del Este,
Uruguay Arrive: 8:00 am Depart: 7:00 pm
Punta del Este, Uruguay
Punta del Este holds some of the finest beaches on the coast that call
to you to play, sunbathe, or splash in the azure Atlantic Ocean. Playa
Brava and Playa Mansa, “wild beach” and
“tame beach,” respectively, perfectly depict the
natural diversity along Uruguay’s coast. From rowdy waves to
calm waters, it’s up to you to choose what kind of adventure
you will have.
With a rich, cosmopolitan look and feel, Punta del Este has been
compared to the likes of Cannes and Miami for its lively energy.
Skyscrapers line the sandy shores of beaches, inviting travelers to
explore the city’s modern treasures.
Among the contemporary architecture lie relics like Casapueblo, a
structure that once stood as an art workshop turned museum but now acts
as a boutique hotel. It’s the perfect example of how Uruguay
incorporates its past into its present.
No one can resist the urge to capture an epic selfie with “La
Mano,” the gigantic sculpted hand reaching out of the golden
sands at Playa Brava. The sculpted fingers reaching toward blue skies
give the impression of a sleeping giant ready and waiting to wake up
and live life. Snap a photo at sunset for a positively beautiful shot
that cannot compare.
Uruguay’s reputation for the art of cooking meat makes it a
top choice for foodie travelers, and Punta del Este is no different.
It’s seaside location also makes it a number one pick for
fresh seafood meals that will leave explorers hungry for more. A rich
mix of flavors in the city’s local fare makes it an adventure
for the taste buds as well.
Apr 14 Montevideo, Uruguay Arrive: 7:00 am Depart: 6:00 pm
Montevideo, Uruguay
Uruguay’s cool capital city Montevideo calls out with its
cobbled streets, wide avenues, colonial buildings and verdant
cityscapes along the waterfront, known as the rambla. To get social
with the locals, share in their tradition of drinking yerba mate.
Everywhere you go in Uruguay you see people drinking the strong, herbal
tea out of cups that look like gourds, sipping through a long, thick
straw. For the full color and vibrant life of the city, head to Mercado
del Puerto, where you find a 19th-century restored building housing
various stalls and eateries. About an hour drive outside the city
explore the newest UNESCO World Heritage Site Church of
Atlántida.
Apr 15 Buenos Aires,
Argentina Arrive: 8:00 am
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Few cities in South America share the ambiance and lifestyle that make
Buenos Aires so endearing. From the Plaza de Mayo to the milongas along
San Telmo’s cobbled streets, Buenos Aires is rife with
historical and cultural sites for the curious mind.
The cosmopolitan capital of Argentina lies on the western shore of the
Río de la Plata estuary. The combination of modern
skyscrapers and colonial structures blends the country’s past
and present in a way that calls out to the adventurer with a thirst for
knowledge.
In the Plaza de Mayo you find a dotting of tropical palm trees amid old
streets and buildings. The plaza holds much history as the site of the
city’s foundation in 1580, the backdrop for the revolution of
independence, and the scene of the latest political rallies.
At the heart of this historical site lies Casa Rosada, the Argentinian
equivalent of the White House, but pink. It’s more than a
novelty sight. It’s a symbol of the executive branch of
government that leads the republic. Casa Rosada is best known as the
location where famous first lady Evita Peron addressed the crowds.
A trip to Buenos Aires must include a visit to Recoleta Cemetery, the
resting grounds of the powerful, rich, and famous. Stone paths lined
with extravagant grave markers and aboveground tombs make it a
celebration of the legacies that live on long after one is gone. Dive
deep into Argentinian culture by joining an asado, a barbecue. As you
indulge in the rich flavors of Argentinian steak and Malbec, you will
come to understand and appreciate the culture’s finer points.
