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.

We will meet the most important attractions of Punta del Este, those "must-see" spots that you can't avoid. This tour in particular permits you to get a solid idea about current art purposes in Punta del Este. Let's visit the worldwide known Carlos Páez Vilaró museum "Casapueblo" enjoying one of the best seaside views and an important part of Punta's identity. In my personal opinion It is not my favourite but I must accept it has a high touristic value. www.casapueblo.com.uy Then stroll around Atchugarry's outdoor sculpture park surrounded by lagoons. Here you can have a light basic walk or you can dare to go beyond and discover the area. This demands an intense physical activity. www.fundacionpabloatchugarry.org Ralli museum gives you the opportunity to meet one of the best latin contemporary artists and the classic Picasso's miniatures. www.rallimuseums.com/es Visit to a local artist atelier depending on availability.
Mariana is an excellent guide and the art museum tours were particularly fine. The only negative is not about her but the fact that we apparently had to go to this bizarre building that was one man's dream and life's work including paying admission for something we could have done without. High recommend Mariana but also suggest revising the tour.
Mariana's art tour was a highlight of our trip. Besides showing us amazing artwork she was fun to be with and gave us a true and wonderful tour of amazing Punta del Este. If you have a chance to book with her take it and enjoy a wonderful day
Mariana and I had emailed back and forth to set up a custom tour for our short stay in Uruguay. She did a perfect job of fulfilling all our wishes. A delightful person with a vast knowledge of her country, the 6 of us couldn't have been happier with the time we spent with her!
