Uruguay
Punta del Diablo
This beach-lover's paradise is one of the best places to visit in Uruguay to enjoy a slower pace of life.
About
This small Uruguayan village is known specifically for the white sand beaches which (during the high season) are lined with open bars and are very popular for surfing. Dune boarding is also quite a popular alternative to surfing, an activity which is similar to snowboarding but done on the sand dunes. At Los Botes (Fisherman’s Beach) visitors have been known to join the locals around beach fires playing guitars and singing songs. While on the beach in the summer months, it is very common to see whales along Uruguay’s shore! You can also easily make friends in Punta del Diablo, as both stray and owned dogs, who love people, freely roam the town in search of camaraderie. If you are in town early enough, you can witness the beautifully colorful sunrises which will surely start your day off right. Nearby is also the Santa Teresa fort, which can be a perfect alternative to the beach. This Portuguese fortress dates back to 1762, and was captured by the Spanish in 1793 after many hard fought battles.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
