A week end in Punta del Este, written by one of our students from Germany
After a perfect day with Margo, Roberto, Beki,
Gabi and the horses, me and my fellow students at the school, all from the US, left Atlantida to visit Punta del Este.
The Bus to Punta normaly leaves from tres
Cruzes in Montevideo. It costs about 150 Pesos and it takes 90 minutes. It´s
always better to book your seats on the Bus because on the weekends they can
get pretty full.
The same goes for the accomodation, but it´s
really not a problem to find a Hostel or a cheep Hotel in Punta del Este during the low season.
Shortly after we arrived in Punta we found a
Hostel named Trip Hostel near the Bus terminal Maldonado. It costs 20
Dollars for one night, which isn´t really cheep for a hostel but for one or two
nights it´s totally worth it. The atmosphere is relaxed and the
people are really nice.
After we put our stuff in our room which by
the way looked like a cabin in a really small boat, we left the hostel to get
to know the city.
The beach in Punta is great but the water was a little cold, even for the tough guys
from Amerika.
We vistited the city in the Winter and beside
the tourist season. And although the weather was great, it´s probably right to
say that the city is a lot different in the summer.
But the view from the Rambla, the street right
next to the beach is amazing any time of year.
But because we aready had a very eventfull day
at the Campo we were all really tired and decided to find somewhere where
we could eat. That wasn´t very easy
because Punta del Este is a tourist town and not very cheep. All the
Restaurants we found were to expencive.
But after a little while we found one that
suited our need of good food and low price.
After we ate we went straight back to our
hostel and went to bed.
The next day after a good nights sleep only
disturbed from the snorying of one of my fellow travlers, the breakfast, which
is inclusive, was waiting for us. Fresh Coffee, bread, jam and of course Dulce
de Leche.
After we stored our lugguage behind the
reception, we went to look for a place where we could rent scooters for one
day. That is really not that easy on a Sunday, the dia de los Santos but after
a while we found Marino Sport.
We rented two scooters and a golf card. For
one day a scooter costs around25 Dollars and the bigger vehicle between50 and
70 Dollars. If you have the time and the money it is worth it.
Our first Stopp was the munumento al Ahogado,a giant hand reaching out of the sand.
Definitly a picture worth taking.
After that we went to a village right next to
Punta called la Barra and it´s
landmark is a really cool rolling bridge over the Arrayo Maldonado. The whole place has a great atmosphere and is a
great place to relax and enjoy the view or watch the fisherman on the otherside
of the river. But beacause we only had a few hours left we couldn´t spend a lot
of time there.
To reach our next destination Casapueblo we had to drive back through
the sity to the other side of Punta.
It takes a while to get there but noone who
visits Uruguay should miss this Stopp. The House was build by the famous
uruguayen artist Carlos Páez. The House is an artwork itself. To visit the
house from the inside weh ad to pay 150 pesos. Disregarding the amazing house
it contains an interesting art collection and a really nice Bar. The view on
the atlantic ocean is amazing.
On our way back to Punta we tried to see
sealions or even walls but we didn´t have any luck with that. But normally at
this time of year there are a lot of big and interesting animals to see at the
beaches of Punta del Este.
After that we catched our stuff from the
hostel and returned the scooters and then we only had time to get a smal snack
at Burgerking before we had to get on the Bus back to Montevideo.
If you make a reservation the Bus costs around
200 pesos. It took us a little longer to get back to Montevideo because there
was a lot of traffic. We took the Bus at 7 and arrived in Montevideo at 10.
This weekend was definitly my best one since I
arrived in Montevideo and I hope that there will come many more just like this
one.
Thanks Marie, to share your experience with us.
