It a great day out punta del easte its definitely a place to see... You will do couple more stops before to reach the place and once you get there you will have couple hours free time... Do not forget your bikini you can relax on the beach if you want...

it was good, however i would have liked to have more photo shoot opportunities on the way there as the bus does not stop except for a quick coffee on top of the hill
