The Most Awe-Inspiring Places To Watch The Sunset In Montevideo

Perched on the southeastern edge of South America, with the Río de la Plata lapping at its shores, Montevideo is a prime spot to watch the setting sun. All along the city’s famous Rambla are green spaces to pitch up with a picnic, or you can venture a little further afield for a view from on high. Pack your camera and head out to one of these top spots, to see the sun dip beneath the waves.

Faro de Punta Brava

This pretty little faro in Punta Carretas was built in 1876 to guide trade ships and fishing boats into Banco Inglés and Buceo Port from Montevideo’s southernmost point. Wander down the dirt track that leads to the lighthouse for a panorama of the city’s skyline in the distance. Steady your sea legs, ask permission to enter and head up the steps of this working lighthouse at dusk, for a spectacular view of the setting sun. http://instagram.com/p/BKHPs5SADK8/?taken-at=339567282
