The brief

Uruguay — Punta del Este summers and José Ignacio quiet.

South America's most overlooked beach country. José Ignacio is the bohemian Hamptons of South America — Bahia Vik and Estancia Vik for the design stays, the long parrilla lunches at La Huella, the empty winter beaches.

Best paired with a Buenos Aires week — a ferry hop across the River Plate.
