Los Dedos is a sculpture in the sand at Playa Brava. It was
created by a Chilean artist as part of a summer-long competition back in 1982,
although he completed the structure in only 6 days.

| Yup - that's the thumb. |
There are various interpretations of the meaning behind the
hand coming out of the sand. Some day it is the emergence of life, some say it
is a monument to the drowned, and some say that it represents the hand that
saves people in distress in the sea. (that’s my favourite).
Regardless, it is an icon of Punta del Este, and a great
place to see tourists taking pictures of tourist taking pictures of tourists.
We also had a great day relaxing in our beach chairs, reading books and
enjoying Los Dedos.
