In the heart of Punta Ballena is one of the most profuse, important botanical gardens and forestry reserves in the world. On a 192 hectare estate with over 10 kilometres of pathways, there is a wood that contains thirty-five types of natiuve trees and over three hundred exotic species from all parts of the world. this is the work of the shipping magnate, poet and writer Antonio Lussich, who in 1896 bought a piece of arid, rocky land close to the sea and, by painting spiecies brought over from the five continents, turned it into the arboretum and natural museum that bear his name. In the house where Lussich lived there are period photos illustrating the transformation the place has undergone and there's a valuable collection of French tiles.

	pano_punta_ballena.jpg W : 5000px H : 1024px S : 489,96 Kb	? 22:15	Anders   Ferie	Punta Ballena: This is one of the most splendid, picturesque spots on the Uruguayan costline, where the strikingly beautiful landscape has been embellished by the hand of man. The southernmost end of a range of hills that skirts the Sauce lagoon bears the name ´´Punta Ballena´´. Dropping down into the sea, it separates Maldonado Bay from its younger sister Portezuelo Bay. Under the shelter of this hilly rise and the existing woods, a residential neighbourhood has grown up. Punta Ballena is a heaven, in summer months, for thousands of tourists who seek a peaceful, healthy communion with nature. To truly appreciate in its entirety just how extraordinary the Creator has been with this part of the world, you need to drive up the Ruta Panorámica till you reach the lookout point on the back of the Ballena and stare out in any direction. To the south you'll be overwhelmed by the expanse of the ocean; to the east, it's the belt of sand that opens onto the bay, lakes woods and the distant fringe of modern buildings that line Punta del Este's seafront road. Westwards, you'll see Portezuelo and Solana del Mar beaches, the contour of the blue hills and, if you gaze outwards as the sun sinks into the sea, you might even see God.

The city of San Fernando de Maldonado, capital of the department that boasts the country´s major resorts, its 130 kilometres from Montevideo and typical of the cities in Uruguay´s interior. It was founded in 1755 on the Laguna del Diario and two years later moved to its present location. On its narrow streets the houses are mainly low, one and two storeys, while its main square (San Fernando) is the centre of its social life. On this square stands Maldonado Cathedral - one of the oldest Catholic churches in the country - as well as the Police Headquarters, the Marco de los Reyes boundary stone and Cuartel de Dragones (Dragoons Barracks) which together with the Torre del Vigia (or Watchtower) make up the most historically valuable buildings in the city.
