One of the main reasons to go to Uruguay was, that its beaches where supposed to be very nice and I wanted a beachbreak anyway.
After almost 12 hours on the bus, crossing the whole country, I arrived in the evening in Punta del Diablo, a quiet fishing village just south of the Brazilian border. It was five days of relaxing, lying on the beach, drinking beer and cocktails, having asado. One day I went by bike to the nearby Nationalpark Santa Teresa.
