Punta del Este is 134 km from Montevideo in the Department of Maldonado.
To the northeast extends broadly encompassing spas that are between La Barra and Jose Ignacio and southeast encompasses Punta Ballena and Solanas; these spas have grown considerably in recent years due to increased visitors and people who choose to live in this little paradise, so today, given its proximity, they are associated with the image of Punta del Este.
