Without a doubt the loveliest areas we found in Punta (as the locals call it), were; Jose Ignacio, Garzon and La Barra. I'd love to return in peak season (ie December and January). The weather was poor during our stay in April and the resorts were quiet (albeit very reasonable rates to be had!).
Jose Iganacio.
Beautiful beach at Jose Ignacio.
Entrance to the stunning beach cafe/restaurant/bar La Huella, Jose Ignacio.
Punta del Este.
The famous 'fingers' on the beach at Punta del Este, which warns people the waters on the beaches at this side of the Punte peninsular faces the ocean, as opposed to the river.
La Barra.
We had so much rain the river burst it's banks and flooded the main road, just north of La Barra.
Beautiful 'out of another world' grounds at the Fasano hotel, close to La Barra.
Garzon.
Beautiful peaceful village, which felt right out of a Western movie, except for the odd little expensive boutique stores starting to creep in.
Out the back of Restaurant Garzon. Simply stunning food at this Francis Mallmann restaurant.
