Top Uruguay Shows & Performances

When your ship pulls into port at Punta del Este, spend half a day on a private shore excursion of the coastal resort town in southern Uruguay. Marvel at ocean views from Punta Ballena (Whale Point) before your guide drives you through sophisticated downtown neighborhoods. See the sailboats of unspoiled Playa Brava, a popular beach featuring whimsical sculptures, and stroll along Gorlero Avenue and Artigas Square to browse local shops during a bit of free time. Round-trip port transport by private vehicle is included.

Its entrance allows you to live a real tango night in the historic Baar Fun Fun, an icon of Montevideo since 1895, managed by the fourth generation. The experience includes access to the legendary Baar Fun Fun, table reservation, glass of Uvita, typical bar drink and live tango show with professional dancers. The Baar Fun Fun, named Cultural Heritage of the city, has been declared of Tourist Interest by the Intendence of Montevideo and Cultural Interest by the Ministry of Education and Culture, in recognition of its historical, cultural value and its living contribution to the Montevidean identity. The tables and the historic counter were attended by key figures of Rio Plata tango. Among them Carlos Gardel, who visited the bar in 1933, during his stay in Montevideo, tried the traditional Uvita and according to the history of the place, even went as far as singing informally for those who were present. That anecdote is now a living part of identity and mystique.
