This is a gem which we only discovered this year. My boys were flabbergasted at the array of whale and other sea creatures’ skeletons on display. There are many other elements such as vintage tin cans and the history of traditional Uruguayan sea resorts including Punta of course and Piriapolis. The insectarium across the road is also very compete and worth the visit. Only barrier is they don’t accept credit cards (unthinkable in this day and age) but accept US dollars and euros.

This museum is a must visit place when in Punta Del Este. It has free entry and is full of bronzes in the gardens through which one can walk. There are also two floors indoors which has a collection of paintings and sculpture by some of Latin America's most talented artists complemented by works by Dali, Chagall and others. Of particular interest are the many caricature paintings of past and current day events. The Ralli Museum is set in a beautiful building itself. This is one of the best museums I have visited offering something totally different from what one would expect.

Wonderful Vineyard with Outstanding Wine Visited Viña Eden December 2018 and had a wonderful afternoon. Outstanding wine, Especially the Sparkling wine, which to me is frankly even better than French Champagne and the Cerro Negro Blend of Red Wine which is just outstanding. We had a pic-nic under a lovely tree as we were served a sandwich and an outstanding Cous Cous. We had two people waiting on us and the service was just impeccable. We also visited the production facilities and enjoyed the beautiful views. Very cool modern vineyard that is very ecologically conscious being energy self sufficient with wind and solar electricity generation (super cool!). Finally it is close to Punta and just over one hour from Montevideo making it a wonderful activity when visiting Uruguay.

Here you will find some of the most unique and strange automobiles. They have amassed an array of autos from near by collectors. Some old - some newer. You will enjoy yourself , it is well worth the little bit of money they ask for, and you will learn something. The lady at the front desk speaks fluent English and is quite knowledgeable about the history of the collection.

Mr. Piria a staunch entrepreneur who bought and sold land and developed Piriapolis, (the city of Piria) was a Mason and also an alchemist. The castle is full of symbolism that deserves to be known.
