At Foxiepass, we're all about showing you the best this stunning peninsula has to offer. So, grab your sunhat and let's dive into some of the must-see spots you'll encounter on our guided tours!

Casapueblo: A Dreamer's Paradise

Picture this: a gleaming white structure perched on a cliff, its whimsical curves and terraces reminiscent of a sandcastle brought to life. That's Casapueblo for you! This architectural marvel, once the home and workshop of famous Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, is now a museum, art gallery, and hotel rolled into one. Trust me, watching the sunset from here is an experience that'll stay with you long after your tan fades.

La Mano: High-Five the Ocean

Ever shaken hands with the Atlantic? Well, here's your chance! La Mano, or "The Hand," is a massive sculpture emerging from the sands of Brava Beach. It's become the unofficial symbol of Punta del Este, and for good reason. Snap a selfie with these giant fingers, or better yet, let our guide share the fascinating story behind this iconic landmark.

Isla de Lobos: A Sea Lion Spectacular

Animal lovers, rejoice! Just a short boat ride from the mainland lies Isla de Lobos, home to the largest colony of sea lions in the Western Hemisphere. It's like stepping into a National Geographic documentary, only better because you're actually there! The sight (and sound) of thousands of these blubbery beauties lounging on the rocks is truly something to behold.

Gorriti Island: Your Private Paradise

Fancy a break from the bustling beaches? Hop on our boat to Gorriti Island. This little slice of heaven offers pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a sense of tranquility that's hard to come by. Pack a picnic, bring a good book, and let the world melt away as you bask in the Uruguayan sun.

Punta del Este Lighthouse: A Beacon of History

Standing tall since 1860, the Punta del Este Lighthouse is more than just a pretty face. It's a window into the area's rich maritime history. Climb to the top (don't worry, we'll take it slow), and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and coastline. It's the perfect spot for those "I'm on top of the world" moments!

Ralli Museum: Art Attack

Think all museums are stuffy and boring? Think again! The Ralli Museum is a feast for the eyes, showcasing an impressive collection of contemporary Latin American art. With sculptures dotting the gardens and thought-provoking pieces inside, it's the perfect place to get your culture fix (and some great Instagram content).
