Tour guide in Punta del Este Mariana A.

Bienvenidos a Punta! I am so glad to be your Punta del Este host! I am native from Uruguay and I've been living here since I was a little girl. I feel very proud and grateful to call this paradise "home", the chosen scenary to raise my child. I have studied English for many years; in fact my first job was as an English teacher. I'm graduated in Primary School Teaching. I taught in many public schools from the area. Also have a superior degree in Tourism at the Universidad de la República. Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology as well as Natural Sciences helped me share an integrative perspective from this territory. I have researched and taught about the field of Sustainable Coastal Touristic Development and coursed some postgrade subjects about Integrated Coastal Management at the University and Coastal Geography. I have directed environmental education programmes to conserve wetlands and the few coastal natural ecosystems that still remains in Punta del Este and participated in congresses, radio, TV journals and given workshops and conferences for a wide public and in many countries. On the other hand, currently my main focus is on teaching Pilates and Yoga at the most important wellness centers of Punta. A few years ago I got my Integrative Nutrition Coach degree so I also assist people on ther path to a healthier and happier life. I love to travel, active and healthy lifestyle as much as surfing and stand up paddling. Although it is true that Punta is very glamorous, sophisticated, luxurious and stylish I would love to share with you the amazing and complex history and geography behind this touristic town. In recent years Punta has become an important Olive oil and Wine producer with the most high quality standars of the region. I offer you, holistic experiences related with History, Geography, gastronomy, nature and wellness always respecting sustainable and responsible tourism principles.
