estuaries by boat. The world’s largest colony of Seal Lions can be found on Isla del Lobos. Participate in a

sea turtle conservation effort with a local NGO. In Punta del Este immerse yourself in the glam and glitz of

beachcombers on holiday and amaze yourself with the thriving art scene and interesting architecture of

Casapueblo. Let your imagination run away as Carnivale performers give you a taste of traditional music and

dances of candombe tango & milonga. Effortlessly blend into the culture and find yourself lazing the day
