El Jagüel Park: A Serene Oasis in Punta del Este

Getting There

• Public Bus

  From the center of Punta del Este, head to the main bus terminal located at Av. Gorlero. Look for the bus labeled 'La Barra' or 'Maldonado'. These buses frequently run and will take you towards the direction of El Jagüel Park. The fare is typically around 30-50 Uruguayan Pesos. You’ll want to get off at the stop near the intersection of Camino La Barra and Av. Aparicio Saravia. From there, walk towards Camino La Barra for about 1 kilometer until you see El Jagüel Park on your left.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi or use a ride-sharing app like Uber. Just provide the driver with the address: 'Camino La Barra, Parque San Rafael, Av. Aparicio Saravia, 20000 Punta del Este'. The ride should take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on traffic, and the fare will generally be around 300-500 Uruguayan Pesos.

• Walking

  For those who enjoy a longer walk, you can start from the beach area near the Punta del Este lighthouse. Walk along Playa Brava towards Av. Gorlero, then head inland towards Av. Aparicio Saravia. Continue walking straight for about 3 kilometers. As you approach the area, look for signs to El Jagüel Park, which will be off Camino La Barra. This walk will take approximately 40-50 minutes, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.
