At Monumento al Ahogado, which in English means “Monument to the drowned”. It is located at Playa Brava in Punta del Este. The monument was made by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal. He was inspired to make a sculpture of a hand “drowning” as a warning to swimmers, as the waters at Playa Brava had rougher waves which were better for surfing only.
