Surfing Punta del Diablo
East of Montevideo on Uruguay’s Atlantic Coast, Punta del Diablo is a seaside village perched on a rise above the ocean, overlooking white sand beaches and a consistent surf. Largely populated with local fisherman and artisans, the village has a sleepy, bohemian feel to it, and provides a perfect respite from everyday life.
DAY ONE
This morning, you will be met at the airport or at your hotel in Montevideo, and transferred to collect your rental car. You will be provided with a rack to attach on top of your car to hold your surfboards.
Drive along the coast to Punta del Diablo, centered around a square of brightly-colored buildings overlooking the ocean. Arriving at your hotel this afternoon, you will have time to check in and relax before meeting with an experienced local surf guide to plan the rest of your stay.
We suggest you dine this evening at a local restaurant owned by a Spanish woman who adds her own unique touch to local Uruguayan cuisine.
