Piriápolis
Uruguay's first purpose-built beach resort, Piriápolis sits on the Maldonado coast between Montevideo and Punta del Este, backed by low hills that give the town an unusual setting for a seaside destination. It predates the better-known Punta del Este and draws a largely domestic crowd alongside visitors from Argentina and Brazil, swelling considerably in the summer months of December through March. A small café and restaurant scene serves the central core year-round.
