Piriápolis

Piriápolis was Uruguay’s original vacation center.  A bit more laid back than Punta del Este, Piriápolis boasts a wealth of white sandy beaches surrounded by beautiful, rolling green hills.  You can view native animals, including penguins, vultures, ostriches, owls and several varieties of stags, at a beautiful nature reserve.  The shopping is great and the cuisine diverse.  (Try the mussels in garlic, you'll rave!) The museum is also a great stop.

The beaches provide excellent swimming, sunbathing, and body surfing, while the port offers sailing and fishing.  And of course the nightlife provides dancing to dawn, or games of chance at the casino.
