Workation in Maldonado: the essentials
Punta del Este gets the headlines, but Maldonado next door is where much of the area actually lives and works. The departmental capital has about 102,000 residents, making it Uruguay's fourth-largest city, and forms a conurbation of over 135,000 with Punta del Este and San Carlos. Its colonial core around the cathedral and the old Cuartel de Dragones barracks has an everyday feel, with shops and offices in place of resort hotels. The beaches are a short trip away, and the summer rush from the peninsula pushes up traffic here too. Punta del Este's international airport is about 14 km from town.
