PHOTOS OF PUNTA DEL ESTE
Gorlero Street - this street is the backbone of downtown Tunta del Este and is lined on both side with tall buildings, shops, restaurants and ice cream parlours. Gorlero Street is the centre of attraction for the local youth giving it a vibrant atmosphere. Further along the peninsula, Gorlero Street turns quieter and you will see nice houses that were built in the early 20th century.
Casa del Pueblo - this modern art museum is housed in the former home of the celebrated Uruguayan artist Carlos Paez Vilaro. The building itself is an eye catching Mediterranean style structure and the art inside is interesting and varied.
Feri Hippie - called the Hippie Market, this street market has about 200 stalls that offer a wide variety of articles such as sculptures, paintings, jewellery, wool garments and leather articles. The market has been in operation for 30 years on the Plaza Artigas and can get very crowded during summer evenings.
Old Lighthouse - the lighthouse was first installed at the Isla de los Lobos in 1858 but due to complaints from fisherman it was moved to the peninsula in 1860. The lighthouse is 44m high and flashes twice every 8 seconds. The lighthouse was again rebuilt in 1923 using volcanic ash from Italy. The views from the area are spectacular.
