🦠The most unique part about my family’s home in Uruguay 🇺🇾
Punta del Este is a flashy, fast-growing city full of luxury and urban lifestyle amenities. But just one hour by boat lies Isla de Lobos — home to the second-largest sea lion colony in the world.
Once the site of seal-hunting operations, the island is now a protected area where sea lions have reclaimed their territory under the watch of dedicated rangers. The good news: divers and snorkelers can visit (weather permitting). The even better news: very few people do. Which makes this place feel like a little slice of heaven on Earth for an ocean enthusiast like me.
