The beautiful beaches and glamorous nightlife of Punta del Este emit a siren call to South America's rich and famous. Long stretches of sandy beaches are littered with bodies tanned golden brown, and travelers pamper themselves at luxe restaurants and beach clubs.

Whether you're a part of this scene or on its fringes, a Punta del Este shore excursion will take you exploring through parts of the region you'd miss without a local guide.

Take a small boat to the nearby Isla de Los Lobos to see colonies of fur seals. Stroll through the neighbourhoods of Pinares and San Rafael for a glimpse at how the lucky locals live. Walking across the undulating La Barra bridge you can appreciate beautiful views of Punta's beaches. Your guide will also want you to see the astonishing Casa Pueblo, home of famous Uruguayan artist Carlos Paez, and Punta's lovely El Faro (lighthouse).

Enjoy the sun, sand and glamour of this beachside town on an entertaining Punta del Este shore excursion.
