Containers, Jose Ignacio, Uruguay
Container Design Loft created by chef/entrepreneur Alejandra Dellepiane, is a new hotel I discovered in José Ignacio. It is entirely made of shipping containers.
The containers are exactly that, containers! not much has been done with that... (as you can see) but the idea is original and it is the first hotel of its type in Uruguay. The interiors are retro and comfortable and I liked the exterior areas most of all... wooden decks and terraces as well as beautiful, flowered gardens seduced my eyes. Among other things, a grill and jacuzzi provide the perfect excuse to hang out there, before or after heading to the beach. All of this surrounded by a pine tree forest.
Solar panels provide hot water and all areas are lit with LED technology.

Garzon (ghost town in UY) + La Pedrera
While in Punta we drove for about 40 minutes to Pueblo Garzón - a small town close to José Ignacio, and to La Pedrera, a little further. Garzon is a gorgeous village worth discovering... maybe just because there is nothing there, and the tranquility and silence one experiences upon arrival, is almost absurd... just a few, small houses, a plaza, dirt roads, and a posada /restaurant operated by one of South America's leading chef's, Francis Mallmann.
