One of the best views of Uruguay

The view of the ocean and Río de la Plata is great. Besides the mirador, there are places nearby where you can reach the rocks and go snorkeling in the summer and spend a spectacular afternoon. Also you could visit Casa Pueblo or go to Arboretum Lusich.

Sunsets and skyline
Mar 2020
A 15-minute drive from Punta del Este, Mirador Punta Ballena offers good views of Playa Cantamar, Isla Gorriti and the Punta del Este skyline. It's also a great spot to watch sunsets. Just up the hill is the fascinating Club Hotel Casapueblo / Museo-Taller Casapueblo (see my review, "Mykonos in Uruguay").

Amazing View - Dusk and Dawn
Dec 2016 • Family
I have been going to Punta del Este since I was a little child and this place NEVER gets old. Although sometimes it gets too crowded for my taste, the view it beautiful, specially when the sun is setting or when the sun is rising. It is a place everyone should go when staying in Punta Del Este!

Toast the sunset
Jan 2017 • Couples
Stop here to admire the ocean, the cliffs, south punta del este with its long beaches and high-rise buildings, and north LaBarra up to Jose Ignacio. Take a drink and toast the sunset. Very romantic. Windy.

What a view
Dec 2016 • Couples
Wow, from this place you can make perfect pictures, you can even see Punta del Este, we just went by and spend some minutes there but I think it will be a dream to watch the sun set from this place.

A must do
Feb 2022 • Couples
This is a must stop off point for the scenery and fantastic sunsets. Would recommend taking chairs, sitting back and enjoying the view.

An easy stop while driving east toward Punta del Este, see a panoramic view of the ocean that is perfect for photos.
