We left in the morning travelling along the coast road to Punta del Diablo, a little surf town which we had heard is really cool. It also was pretty deserted, as we had expected, and was a really nice little town, there has been considerable development of the town but all in the form of little cabins and huts in different colours. They were all...

Punta del Diablo is a lovely fisherman's village near the Brazillian/Uruguain border. I have spent the week here with some friendly people, and it brings back memories of Ritoque Playa in Chile. My week here was nothing more than soaking up some sunshine, swimming in the Atlantic, cooking some excellent meals, playing footy and rugby on the beac...

I was in this nice town for a few days and enjoyed it very much. Lot of college students from Uruguay and Argentina.

... Punta del Diablo! ohh what a place... Nice people, beautiful beaches, Mate, alternative lifestyle, relaxed!

When we arrived in Punta Del Diablo we were tired from our lack of sleep on the bus from Montevideo. After 4 nights there, we had quickly got out of the habit of carrying our backpacks around everywhere and now for some reason they seemed heavier than ever. This could have been due to the fact that we had eaten very little, were tired and hot. T...

Punta del Diablo is a beautiful, very wind swept fishing village four and a half hours to the east of Montvideo. We had been promised a brand new, fully functioning youth hostel in a remote village from where we wound travel slowly back west after three days enjoying the peace. Punta del Diablo is remote but the developers have arrived- the host...

I spent the last 4 days in paradise. It was so perfect that I'm almost hesitant to write about it, lest the secret get out. On the word of a fellow traveller and an insignificant sentence in our travel guide, Natalie and I decided to go to Punta del Diablo, Uruguay. The trip there took a total of 19 hours with a stop in Montevideo. The capital c...

Punta del Diablo is a few hours up the coast towards Brazil and a tiny fishing village with no ATM machines and only about 2 small shops, their 'supermarket' had a very limited selection within its 2 aisles. Knowing the bus would only drop us off 4km away from Punta del Diablo we knew we would have to hitchhike into town. Vinnie, Graham and I ju...

05-11-29 As recommened in the Lonely Planets "must do" list, I took a bus up to Punta del Diablo early last week, which turned out to be a bit of a disaster. I must be getting a real travellers nose at this stage, because I just knew when the bus pulled into the town that something wasn't right. I seriously thought of getting straight back on ag...
