Cachè resubido por AcàEstàDaro (4 de noviembre de 2022) originalmente escondido por Franymarie (GC829MG - 1 de Septiembre de 2019)
Countless shipwrecks occurred on the River Plate coasts and the Atlantic Ocean. This dark panorama, plus the pressure of sailors and merchants made the Spanish Crown decided in 1799, the construction of a lantern in Cerro de Montevideo, the first light that illuminated the coasts of the Río de la Plata and one of the first in America.
Punta del Este lighthouse was built the 17th of November 1860 by Tomas Libarena in the southernmost point of Uruguay, Punta Salinas, in order to guide navigation in the Atlantic Ocean and River Plate.
At the very beggining It was planned to be located on Lobos Island, but the fishermen claimed that the light bothered the seals and sea elephants, that is why it was finally moved to the peninsula.
From the very beggining it was the symbol and reference of the peninsula. it was also, for many years, the tallest building in the city.
It was made with a mix of volcanic sand (brought from Rome, Italy) which is harder than cement and allows it to be perfectly preserved until today.
It is 45 mts. height and the crystals which constitute its illumination system were brought from France, This system is electrical, but in case of an emergency it works with acetilene gas. The lighthouse has an inside spiral staircase of 150 steps.
It has a focal height of 44 meters, geographic range of 18 miles, luminous range of 11 miles, luminous intensity of 43,000 candles and emits 2 white flashes every 8 seconds.
Back in 1907, in the signature album of the lighthouse, someone wrote: "We hope that the light of Punta del Este Lighthouse will soon illuminate the best seaside resort city of South America". The lighthouse, in silence, listened to the request and made it come true.......
VERY IMPORTANT!!!: -PLEASE LEAVE THE CACHE WELL HIDDEN AS YOU FIND IT IN ORDER IT CANNOT BE VANDALISED OR STOLEN!!!

I walked here after our morning's excursion, right time to visit this place as there were only a few other tourists around. Hint doesn't really help because it isn't correct but easy find anyway.
Nice surroundings here, peaceful town.

We were in Punta del Este Uruguay for the day on Holland America's Amsterdam. We were going to be on tour for the day, so Marbles had to go meet the Guides at the bus. He got there early and had 30 minutes to do a quick "dash to the cache".
He followed the Hint carefully, but could not find the cache. Then he read the previous logs and found out that the Hint is no longer correct. He found the cache. The cache is close to but below the Hint item.
Marbles also Dropped Off a TB.

Byl jsem tu! Fantomas. TFTC. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
It's not in the chain. Easy find, though.
I hitchhiked from Cabo Polonio to Punta del Este in the morning, walked around a bit, found the lighthouse cache, then took a bus to Punta Ballenas, walked to the cave (nothing to call home about, but the view from the cache was very nice), walked to the weird house, got the next cache, walked back to the road and waited for a bus to Montevideo while watching the sunset over the beautiful coastline. Thumbs up for Uruguay!

This time, I am not travelling by air ambulance but am on a normal vacation instead.
Kind of normal at least...
My main destination is the South Pacific but as I am using up some air miles to get there my routing is not exactly straight...
Today, I did a day trip to Punta del Este by bus. As it was too windy to stay on the beach unless you wanted to get sandblasted I walked around the peninsula taking in all the sights.
After the two previous DNFs I didn’t quite expect to find this cache but the box is in the exact spot as described! And it contains several log sheets...
Quite a nice area!

Während unseres kurzen Kreuzfahrt-Stopps in Punta del Este diesen schönen Platz aufgesucht. Wegen der vielen Muggels zuerst die Kirche besucht und dann als fast alle weg waren schnell zugegriffen. Danach noch für zwei Stunden an den Strand, denn das muss man in Punta del Este ja auch unbedingt gemacht haben.
Danke für den Cache
Durante nuestra corta parada de crucero en Punta del Este visitamos este hermoso lugar. Debido a la gran cantidad de muggles que primero visitaron la iglesia y luego como casi todos se fueron rápidamente se accedió a ella. Luego nos fuimos a la playa por dos horas, como se debe haber hecho en Punta del Este.
Gracias por el caché
