With the U.S. real estate market in the
doldrums, look south - way south - to Uruguay. Uru-where? The tiny
South American nation is wedged between Brazil and Argentina, whose
sputtering currencies have been attracting globe-trotting bargain
hunters in recent years. But it's getting harder to find a real deal in
those countries, with all the competition from euro-flush investors and
increasingly prosperous locals. That makes largely overlooked but
delightfully cosmopolitan Uruguay the place to be. Known as the
Switzerland of South America, Uruguay played host to the jet-setting
crowd in the '60s. These days the likes of Ralph Lauren and Naomi
Campbell hit the beaches of Punta del Este.

Within the first 2 hours of meeting Guido, he had invited us to a
beautiful hideaway, for the xmas holidays. I immediately liked this
guy! Jose Ignacio is a wonderful beach town in Uruguay, a nice escape
from the hustle and bustle of the more frequented holiday destination,
Punta del Este.

Surface appearances are important to visitors to Punta del Este in
Uruguay, South America's equivalent of Miami or St Tropez. Many of an
increasingly international crowd are drawn to the beach resort by the
lavish and exclusive private parties thrown at the beginning of each
year. Deep pockets are important too in a town renowned as the
most expensive in the region. If not invited, some visitors are
prepared to pay small fortunes to be seen.

In the last few years, a number of St. Barts's habitués - along with
other members of the bold-face crowd - have begun to drift southward to
Punta del Este, the South American resort town. Set on a peninsula in
the southeast corner of Uruguay between the Atlantic and the Río de la
Plata, Punta has served for decades as the Hamptons of Latin America, a
January and February playground for a glittery mix of international
personalities, beautiful people, luxury houses and wealthy South Americans.

In the 1950's, the once sleepy fishing village of Punta del Este, Uruguay, vied with Havana and San Juan as most happening landing strip in Latin America. Now, after surviving a dictatorship and economic woes, Punta is luring back the jet set.
