Punta Del Diablo

Next stop on my excellent adventure was Punta Del Diablo. This is a small beach town or village on the north eastern coast of Uruguay. I had been told by many people that it was definitely worth seeing and they were right. As I was there during March it was very quiet. Most of the places there are only open for the two high months of the year which are January and February.
















I stayed in a nice backpackers hostel and arrived on Saint Patricks day and was met from my bus by an Irish guy!!! what a coincedence..... So a few beers were had that night to celebrate. I got there at 8pm and it was already dark so it was good that I had an escort to the accommodation. But I still had no idea what the place looked like as there were not many street lights, the roads were all dirt roads and all I could here was the noise of the ocean.






The next morning I woke to find that the beach was one block from the hostel. There were two beaches side by side seperated by some rocks and they were long white sandy beaches, absolutely beautiful.







I spent the day wandering around the village taking some pictures of the funny little houses.... or Cabañas as they are called.






















I ran into a girl named Mariana who I had met in Punta Del Este and we caught up for a while before she had to catch a bus to her next place.




I only spent two nights here and then caught a bus all the way back to Montevideo.
