About Casapueblo

Carlos Páez Vilaró lived and worked at Casapueblo, which he built by hand on the point at Punta Ballena. The museum opens every day of the year from 10:00 until sunset, when the ‘Ceremonia al sol’ plays his voice reading a poem to the sun; arrive 40 minutes early. Entry was $U 600 (casapueblo.com.uy, Oct 2026).
