What do Americans think of Punta del Este? Matt gross travelled Punta del Este for the New York Times on a budget, and what follows is what transpired.
This story was published in January of 2007 in the travel section of the NYT, but Matt traveled in November of 2006, but his intent was to be able to categorize how to travel “frugal” in this famed jet set destination.
He traveled in November to avoid the high season.
He drank 7 dollar Negronis, he stayed in one of the best hotels, ate fine restaurants, but also at Marco’s chivitos and some croissants in La Barra, he avoided costly purchases in calle 10; he enjoyed all the normal things that a writer trying to economize his purchases would enjoy.
We see some of the impressions that he had to try to understand why eqch year more visitors from outside the region find our beach. In the first place, it expressed him as being elegant, beautiful and opulent. HIs article was titled, “Feeling comfortable amongst the jetset of Uruguay in Punta del Este”.
The presumption of Matt was 500 dollars for the weekend, that quantity was calculated would only give only for 5 rounds of VIP baccart and left in a stampede without even being able to take a picture. All the photos that they published pertain to the same article — the pictures of of the things that foreigners would find interesting.
Incredibly, the US writer left the balneario with 200 dollars left over.
He explains that Punta del Este is in the south east corner of Uruguay and swamped with Argentinians, Brazilians, and Chilenos and countries from further away, including such celebrity as Naomi Campbell and Giselle Bundchen and for establishing itself with the clothes of Gucci and Valentino.
Matt went to the beach and checked out some of the nicer punta del este real estate and nicer summer residences. His impression was that the people are suprisingly agreeable and seem to smile on teh street for no paparent reason.
November has certain benefits, but also has some inconveniences. His Uruguayan guide advertised the biggest clubs that hadn’t opened yet. He wouldn’t be invited to the parties in teh house of Martin Amis, but they found punta 33 very agreeable – a gardin restaurant with a modest dance floor and some 200 young brasilians.
