Casapueblo (Casa del Pueblo)
Located in Punta Ballena near Punta del Este, Casapueblo is the house of famous Uruguayan artist, Carlos Paez Vilaro. On October 13, 1972, a chartered flight carrying 45 people crashed in the Andes Mountains, killing all but 16 people. One of the survivors was Carlitos Paez, Carlos Paez Vilaro’s son. The citadal-style Casapueblo is the artist’s tribute to him, and features a hotel, cafe, museum and art gallery, where you can learn about Uruguayan culture. For something truly beautiful, stay until sunset and enjoy the breathtaking ocean views from the balcony with a champagne toast.
