Hi Mariela,
I totally agree with answer 1 given by Natalia. The cost of the bus tickets COT or COPSA is approximately 160 uruguayan pesos one way (US$ 8.5).
I live in Punta del Este all year round and the city and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. In March, when the high season has passed and the weather is cooler, you can still enjoy the beaches and a swim in the sea.
The offers are very varied, so where you go depends on what you prefer if you are coming for only one day: Nature trips (Arboretum Lussich, Lapataia, beaches, Museo del Mar), city tour or rent a car and just drive around the towns sightseeing (Punta Ballena, Punta del Este, La Barra, Manantiales, José Ignacio) or just arrive and walk around Punta del Este and enjoy the beaches (Brava and Mansa) and the port. If you need any help, please call me at (099) 652559.
Have a nice trip,
Jeanine

Natalia made the best response in my opinion,
Make sure to ask for the "DIRECT bus" (Directo Punta del Este)
You do not have to book in advance, just drop by to "TRES CRUCES" bus terminal and buses leave every 15/20 minutes...
The best thing to do is walk along the beach near the port (Peninsula). It is beautiful.
Try to go to "la barra", you have to cross a "special" bridge, try to acelerate while crossing it! it is fun!
Once there rent a car o take a excursion.
Have a nice trip!!!
What about going to Rocha? It is very nice as well, but different...more natural.

Hola Mariela,

How are you? I would recommend you to take a Copsa bus on the bus terminal called "Tres Cruces". They have brand new comfortable buses even with wi fi internet. March is a great month to go to Punta, since weather is really nice and the city it´s not too crowded. The ticket is about $160 pesos.

Hope you enjoy your holiday!

Hi Mariela,
The recommendation to come by bus of my colleagues is one option, another one is to come by private transfer (maybe if you come for the day you want to optimize your time), in that case you can book a car for USD 170, or rent one in Montevideo and come to Punta driving, this is cheaper, you will pay USD 100 for the entire day, and the route is very nice and safe.
Once in Punta we can take you in a tour to visit the best places.
Regards and good trip !
