About Punta Del Este
Uruguay
Situated in the South East of Latin America, bordered to the north and northeast by the river ‘Grande del Sur’, Brazil, and to the west and south by Argentina. It has been and is known as the Switzerland of America due to its strong democracy and high standard of living, comparable to those of Europe at the end of the 19th century.
The Uruguayan Republic is divided into 19 ‘departments’ with Montevideo being the capital, a lovely city next to the sea with a large commercial port and a pretty old quarter.
The country, in general, is characterized by its natural landscapes, some are pure paradise, and it’s wonderful history. Beaches, natural grasslands, bird or whale watching, hot springs or world heritage historic centers for humanity, are just some of the options Uruguay offers its visitors.

The climate is mild (average 17ºC), with hot summers and a uniform rainfall all year round.
