Travelling by bike is the best way to soak up the endless views and the beautiful sights of Punta del Este. In addition, it's an environmentally friendly means of transport, and is perfect for meandering along the roads of this peninsula.
From Playa Mansa, a local guide will whisk you away from the chaos of the city. In front of you is a stretch of sand spanning 6km and the sea: Take a deep breath and enjoy the clean air.
The blue water is inviting, but now is not the time to stop. Pedal your way to the port, where, among the sounds of the ships, you may hear strange calls...it's the sea lions sunbathing between dips into the sea. Have you ever seen them so close up?
Say goodbye to your new friends: the ride continues towards the lighthouse. Get as close as you can and then look up. If you suddenly feel small, don't worry - it's normal: it's 45 meters high.
A bit further on, a colorful building draws the eye. It's the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria church, with dazzling white and sky-blue walls.
You've got a little more pedaling to do to make this city and its sights yours: you've got a taste for it now, right?
