Although the Punta del Este area can be said to start earlier as one drives in from Montevideo, it really announces itself when one reaches Punta Ballena. The road curves more toward the water and climbs toward the crest of the peninsula that is Punta Ballena, and suddenly one gets panoramic views of water, beach and sky in two different directions, back toward Montevideo and ahead toward the peninsula of Punta del Este. I took the picture above last Sunday afternoon from this spot looking back toward Montevideo, and a few minutes later took the picture below from a spot 200 meters away looking ahead toward the peninsula.
