Punta del Este, a destination to experience with all your senses
There’s no better way to start the year than by cycling along the coast…
In the height of summer, Punta del Este reveals all its charm: kilometers of beaches, the blue ocean, pine forests, unforgettable sunsets, world-class cuisine, nightlife, and a unique energy that make it one of the most exclusive beach resorts in our region.
The Gran Fondo Punta del Este is much more than just a race. It’s the perfect excuse to enjoy a vacation by the sea, share a passion for cycling with friends and family, and have an unforgettable experience in an incomparable natural setting.
On January 10, as the Punta del Este resort comes alive with the season’s most vibrant atmosphere, thousands of cyclists will ride a course designed to showcase the beauty of the coastline, the sound of the ocean, and the thrill of pedaling through landscapes that seem tailor-made for cycling.
The start, finish, awards ceremony, and post-race festivities will take place at the MACA Pablo Atchugarry Museum, a space where art, architecture, and nature coexist in an extraordinary way. The fact that a cycling event begins and ends at such a special museum transforms the Gran Fondo into a unique experience: not only do participants ride along the coast, but they also celebrate the sport in a culturally rich and inspiring setting.

These images are from Buenos Aires. Very soon, the excitement will take on the color of the ocean.
Imagine a sunrise at the MACA Museum. The pack moving forward between the sea and the countryside. The wind, the road, and the landscape accompanying every kilometer.
The adrenaline of the start. The thrill of crossing the finish line. The final embrace, knowing you’ve had an experience that goes far beyond the stopwatch.
Because some races are remembered for the time achieved. Others, for the place where they took place...
Sunday, January 10, is the day of the Gran Fondo Punta del Este. And this story will also have its own aftermovie.

Gran Fondo Circuit
Punta del Este
The start takes place at the Pablo Atchugarry MACA Museum, a cultural icon where contemporary art coexists with nature. Surrounded by monumental sculptures and open gardens, cyclists set off from a unique setting that reflects the spirit of the Gran Fondo Argentina Punta del Este.
The route begins on Route 104 heading west, passing through farms, ranches, boutique wineries, and country inns that capture the essence of rural Uruguay.
Further on, the route takes Route 9 north to the Camino Sainz Martínez, where the two distances split. Participants in the 62K turn right, while cyclists in the 115K continue on Route 9 to the Camino del Caracol roundabout.
62K Distance
From Camino Sainz Martínez, the route continues to the José Ignacio roundabout, where it turns right to merge onto Route 10. It then takes Camino Medellín and, finally, returns via Route 104 to the finish line at the MACA Museum.
Distance 115K
At the roundabout on Route 9 (Km XX), cyclists turn onto the Camino del Caracol, one of the most picturesque sections of the race. Its winding route passes through a natural tunnel of eucalyptus trees and lush vegetation, among gentle hills that lead to Las Garzas, where the first breathtaking view of the day appears: the ocean.
From there, the most iconic stretch of the Gran Fondo begins. Following Route 10, the circuit runs along the coast, crosses the iconic Laguna Garzón Bridge, and arrives at José Ignacio, with its unmistakable lighthouse, quiet streets, and one of Uruguay’s most photographed coastal landscapes.
From José Ignacio, the route continues along Route 10 until it turns onto the Medellín Trail, a stretch of rural roads surrounded by open fields and nature that leads back to Route 104 to complete the return to the MACA Museum.
Sea, countryside, art, and nature come together on a route of extraordinary beauty, making the Gran Fondo Argentina Punta del Este an unforgettable cycling experience.
