Buenos Aires to Rio Cruise February 21 – March 5, 2007

Punta del Este

Known as “the Pearl of the Atlantic,” Punta del Este is Uruguay’s most famous beach resort and a favorite among locals and jet-setters alike. With endless stretches of sand facing two different bodies of water, you can choose between the “tame” beaches on the calm Rio de la Plata, or the surfers’ beaches facing the rougher waters that begin with the Playa Brava, or Wild Beach, on the South Atlantic side. After sundown, this glamorous South American hotspot really sizzles, with inviting restaurants and a world-class nightlife that could only be found in the heart of South America.
