Montevideo & Punta del Este
A capital that runs on mate and a seven-kilometre riverside walk, then a beach town where the sculpture of a hand emerging from the sand is the whole itinerary for one afternoon.
The best time to visit Montevideo & Punta del Este is Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (70°F). Local time there is 16:45 (UTC-3).
