- KarenM1_10Bloomfield Hills, Michigan924 contributionsWe toured this museum on our own instead of doing a shore excursion with our cruise ship. You can easily get an Uber to the museum but trying to get transport back took some time. Several people hired a taxi to take them to the museum and wait for them, which would have been a very good idea. The museum was worth seeing. Very interesting architecture. You can see the entire museum in less than an hour. They offer a short movie that is worth watching about the artist. They have a nice café with beautiful views. They also sell souvenirs, and a hotel is located on the property. This is worth seeing since there is not much else offered in the area.Written 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlpinerHutChantilly, VA1,226 contributionsIs Puente Leonel Viera a bridge or is it a roller coaster?
You can cross the Maldonado River between Punta del Este and La Barra on it, so that makes it a bridge, right? Many who cross, though, do so at high speed to produce the stomach-dropping feeling you get when you catch "big air" at the humps, so that makes it a roller coaster, right?
The bridge was built in 1965 by Viera, who had no experience in engineering or architecture. He was the first to design a bridge like this, a "stressed ribbon bridge," essentially a suspension bridge but with the suspension cables INSIDE the bridge itself.
Viera created what is now the Punta del Este-to-La Barra span. A second span, now carrying traffic from La Barra to Punta del Este, was added in 1998.
TIPS:
* This is a little dangerous to drive on since motorists speed across to create the roller coaster effect. Be careful.
* The newer bridge, carrying traffic from La Barra to Punta del Este, is said to be the better "roller coaster." It's the one our tour bus driver did his speeding on!Written 10 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We brought food, beverages for a picnic on the beach under the shade of a tree. The views from the island are very nice. There are lots of trees and some trails between them which are nice too. We went to two beaches and finally chose the one protected from the wind.
There is a British cemetery and a few very old cannon batteries built by the Spanish to defend the bay.Written 13 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BlueBsAsMiami, FL6,774 contributionsWhat a great spot! We love it. We went with our pet around sunset time. The bar has good music, uncrowded, WiFi and very good service. We ordered fried calamari, beers, destornillador (vodka+orange juice) . Inexpensive . The sunset view is amazing! Free parking. We will go back.Written 30 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Sharon MAbingdon, MD4,304 contributionsOn a South American cruise, this was offered as an excursion. Quite honestly, this was the best thing we did during the 10 days in South America. The people who work here are extremely knowledgeable and quite dedicated. This reserve is all about preserving the environment and educating the public. You must schedule your visit ahead of time. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring your own water bottle, hat and insect repellant (although we weren't bothered in the least with insects). There is a fair amount of walking through the woods, wetlands and grasslands but it is at a good and comfortable pace. We saw lots of different kinds of birds not to mention countless capybaras, the world's largest rodents, and rheas. Our guide told us just about everything you would ever want to know about the animals and the plant life...all very interesting. After our walk, we were treated to delicious empanadas and cool drinks. I wish I could give this more than just five stars!!Written 16 April 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- soy038Montreal, Canada15 contributionsNice, clean, and beautiful, nothing else to say.
