During our last trip to South America we decided to hit Punta del Este. Its reputation as being a playground for South America’s rich and famous is totally dead on! The beaches are beautiful, relaxing and inviting. While in town you must visit Jose Ignacio – at the end of Bravas Beach. Quiet and remote this is the true definition of relaxing.
… and don’t forget to try a “Chivitos” the famous national dish of Uruguay. Its a sandwich consisting of Beef, Bacon, Mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, peppers – and I went all out with egg on top. I had mine at Guappa, an excellent restaurant on the beach.
