Punta Uva II beach
10 Kara Celeste

This beach truly took my breath away. The clarity of the water, the beauty of the reef, and the presence of palm trees make it absolutely enchanting. It perfectly embodies the image of a Caribbean beach. The sand is incredibly soft and white, making it irresistible to spend the entire day here. As we lounged, we were delighted by the passing food vendors offering delectable Argentinian cuisine, with the choripan being my personal favorite. We also indulged in churros and empanadas. Fortunately, parking was plentiful (although we visited during the low season), and the beach was not crowded at all. My husband and I had a wonderful time snorkeling, relaxing under the shade of the trees, and swimming. It truly is a sight to behold.

Punta de Vista beach
