The village of Punta Del Diablo is situated from Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, from the upscale seaside resort town of Punta del Este, and 43 km from Chuy (which borders the Brazil city of Chuí). Punta Del Diablo is perched on a gentle rise overlooking the ocean and centered around a square of brightly colored buildings, including houses, shops, restaurants, bars, shops and grocery stores that line sandy lanes. Due to strict building codes, there are no high rises or sprawling luxury resorts or high rises. Instead there are small hotels, a boutique hostel, cabanas and vacation houses. The white sands of the beach below are separated by the main rocky point, "Punta Del Diablo," which extends more than 600 feet, and two other rocky points, together forming "The Trident." Punta del Diablo is in the Southern Hemisphere's temperate zone and has four seasons. Temperatures average in summer and in winter.
