A salt-laced wind pushes inland as the van curves onto Route 10, and Punta del Este unrolls along the Atlantic—white beaches, sculpted cliffs, and the unexpected human punctuation of Mario Irarrázabal’s five fingers rising from the sand. Guests step out at lookouts where the ocean seems to test the shoreline’s resolve, and a local guide threads the day with stories of artists and fishermen.
