Relaxed space to enjoy nature and play same sports like ball and football. Home made breakfast.   Punta del Este is an upscale vacation spot on the southern tip of Uruguay, southeast of the town of Maldonado and about 140 km east of Montevideo. Although the town has a year round population of 10,506 (2005), the summer tourist boom often boosts the population to about one million people between December and February.   The city is internationally known, among other things as the most important and exclusive resort of South America   Due to its location, Punta Del Este has scenic coasts and beaches. There are two types of coast: Brava and Mansa. This shows the end of the Rio de la Plata (River Plate) on one side and the beginning of the Atlantic Ocean, on the other side. Every beach of the peninsula has public access. There are quiet and calm water beaches while others have strong waves, white and fine sand or thick and golden ones.   The split between wave types is around the Monumento al Ahogado, which the sculptor designed to warn swimmers that the rough waves could cause them to drown.
