Private Tour to Cabo Polonio for the day
The Cabo Polonio National Park is an extensive area with a great scenic beauty that still preserves typical characteristics of the Uruguayan Atlantic coast, and its original fishing villages.
The place is completely different from any other point on the coast of the country, there is no electricity (which gives it a particular touch and allows you to appreciate the night sky at night) or running water, there are no streets but irregular paths that link the small and rudimentary houses.
The entry is made in all-terrain vehicles, but only those with authorization from the Ministry of the Environment and other competent bodies.
Everything is on foot within Polonio, so you should be prepared to walk and explore the different landscapes such as endless deserted beaches, huge rocks with passages between them or very high dunes with impressive views.

Parque Nacional de Cabo Polonio
This is a magical place with a great scenic beauty that still preserves typical characteristics of the Uruguayan Atlantic coast, and its original fishing villages. It is located in the department of Rocha, 264 km from Montevideo. It has three islands off its coast where there is an important reserve of sea lions. Its lighthouse has been a reference for sailors and the entire east coast since 1881. Both this place and the entire surrounding area is riddled with shipwrecks, which has earned it the label "hell for sailors". It is completely different from any other point on the coast of the country, there is no electric light (which gives it a particular touch and allows you to appreciate the night sky at night) or running water, there are no streets but irregular paths that link the small houses . Those who come to spend the summer here appreciate these characteristics of contact with nature. The entry is made in authorized all-terrain vehicles.

Additional Information
The start time is flexible depending on your needs. The one published is my suggestion so that you have time to have breakfast and we leave early and have more time to enjoy the tour. If you are on a Cruise and the time you can arrive at the port dock is later than the suggested time, you have nothing to worry about, just tell me the time you will be available and I will be there outside the Port. waiting for you. The vehicle that will be used is licensed for 7 people, including the driver, and there are safety features for everyone. The ideal number of adults in the group should be 4 of medium build so that they can travel in complete comfort. It is also possible to incorporate 2 children or adolescents if they are not corpulent. The clarification is because the 3rd row seat is smaller than the rest.
