  • “Rambla” of Punta del Este

We will stroll along the beautiful coastline of Punta del Este to admire its beach and will visit the emblematic “La Mano” or “Los Dedos” gigantic sculpture. La Mano is a sculpture in Punta del Este by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal. It depicts five human fingers partially emerging from sand. It is also known as either Los Dedos, or Hombre emergiendo a la vida. In English, its popular name is The Hand. It is a famous sculpture that has become a symbol for Punta del Este since its completion in February 1982 and in turn has become one of Uruguay's most recognizable landmarks.
