Terrazas del Diablo Punta del Diablo

After the dizzy heights of Punta Del Este I headed towards the Brazilian border and got off at Punta Del Diablo – a small fishing village with about 700 permanent residents, but increasing numbers of tourists each year. This was definitely more my kind of place, the perfect location to relax, unwind and take in some sun whilst sipping fres...

We caught the 7am Ruta Del Sol bus up to Punta Del Diablo (Devils Point) arriving at about 111:30am.

The heat was already oppressive but we managed to find our hostel before we were too sticky.

Punta Del Diablo is a sandy little beach town close to the border with Brazil. Only about 700 people live and it is just big enough to ...

Hellloooooooooo!!


Hope this finds everyone well. We have just arrived in Florianopolis, Brazil and it is RAINING.. so i am taking this time to write to my favourite people!

Well i have been a teeny bit slack with this but fear not, tis only because we have been in one place the past week! better for an overview i say,...

Well here I am alone in Punta del Diablo. What a place. Small, isolated, warm and charming.
The photos cover what the town is about – dusty streets, small open faced restaurants, cabanas and beaches. I've taken a few surfing lessons with Santi (pictured). He is a mild mannered man who likes to smoke weed after we surf. We get along fam...

DAY 1 - After crossing the Brazilian border into Chuy, the first Uruguayan town, the bus continued to Rocha where we were dropped off at a petrol station. Gem eventually, using her best Spanish, managed to get us a taxi to take us into the center. We then got a bus to Punta Del Diablo, which took about 2 hours heading in the direction we had jus...

Woke up in Punta del Diablo and decided we needed petrol for the car before we could go much further. The station was a while away so we also decided to go for a drive around the area too. Set off for a little town called Chuy, pronounced Chewy. Its about 40 mins from the beach.
on the way we went to this little war museum called Fuerte de ...

We decided to escape the city and head across to Uruguay for a few days of beach time before heading further into Argentina. So we hopped on a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia Sacramento.. a very quaint little town with a beautiful old and rustic historic centre on the coast of Uruguay. Bruce had been suffering a bit with gout so we rented a g...

I woke up on Friday morning a bit hung over from the previous night's Couchsurfing meetup, but I got ready in time for Bayard to drive me to the bus station for my 12pm bus to the Uruguayan border. The 8 hour bus ride went quite smoothly, save for an overturned truck on the road which caused a half hour delay, and I spent most of the time readin...

Imagine arriving to a town in complete darkness, roads with no names and the bus leaves you in front of the local police station. Welcome to Punta del Diablo! We were soon greated by our new host, Brian - Owner of El Diablo Tranquilo, who was kind enough to escort us back to his hostel in the darkness of this quaint fishing town just South from ...

Time to move on and today it is to a new country. We had to backtrack a bit and then we got on the coast road to the town of Chuy. The road passed quite close to the sea and next to a large lake and so once more we were treated to a display of lots of different birds and the huge Capybara. We had been warned on the internet that the Brazil...
