Punta Ballena:
Punta Ballena is a rocky headland in the department of Maldonado, about 18 km west of Punta del Este and 115 km east of Montevideo. It is part of the Sierra de la Ballena, a range of hills extending into the Río de la Plata and marking the boundary with the Atlantic Ocean. Its name comes from sightings of southern right whales that used to approach the coast to breed.
