DARWIN200 Global Voyage: Leg 6. Sail from Rio de Janeiro to Punta del Este. One of Uruguay’s most colorful, cities located on the northern bank of the Río de la Plata. In Punta del Este, you can enjoy the local cuisine and discover the nearby seaside resorts, with sandy roads and pine forests. Punta de Este is the perfect base to explore Uruguay and is not inferior to Rio de Janeiro. We recommend that you stay a few more days in at least one of the two cities.
