Punta Del Este is by far the most frequently visited resort in the country and is regarded as one of the best ones in the world. Over 60% of the foreign currency that enters Uruguay from tourism comes from Punta Del Este and over two-thirds of its visitors arrive during the summer months (particularly during the last week of December and the first week of March). There are around 10,000 inhabitants throughout the whole year whilst in high season over half a million people visit the area; most of them Argentineans. The name “Punta Del Este”, comes from a city founded a hundred years ago (nowadays known as the “Peninsula” Area) which was located where the waters of the River Plate meet the Atlantic Ocean.Credit BeachTuber
