Piriápolis, located on the Atlantic coast in southeastern Uruguay, is a famous seaside resort in the department of Rocha, about 100 kilometers from the capital city of Montevideo. Founded in 1897 by Spanish immigrant José Serrato, the town attracts visitors from around the globe with its colonial architecture, long sandy beaches and laid-back atmosphere. The town's iconic attractions include Playa de los Dedos (Finger Beach), with its distinctive sandstone fingers reaching out into the sea, and Cerro de la Ballena, some 130 meters above sea level, which offers breathtaking views of the sea and the town at its summit. Stroll down Avenida de las Leyendas, lined with colorful villas and historic buildings, and ending at the beach, where cafes and craft stores have a local flavor. Ideal for surfing and sunbathing in the summer, as well as peaceful walks along the beach in the winter, Piriapolis is the ideal destination for experiencing Uruguay's "slow life".
