Exploring the Uruguayan Coast from Above

Today I rented a Cessna 182 with a local instructor (since I only have my US-FAA license) to fly around Punta del Este, Uruguay, including its pristine coastline. The smaller of the two airports in Punta del Este is used exclusively for small aircraft. My flight path took me northeast along the coast, turning around in the area of La Pedrera, then heading back southwest toward downtown Punta del Este and on to Punta Ballena.
