Colonia, UruguayVisit the historic quarter just across the river
Colonia del Sacramento, which belongs to Uruguay's province of Colonia, was the only Portuguese settlement along the Rio de la Plata. Too see are the Portuguese architectural style houses and cobblestoned streets. The historic portion of Colonia is a unique place in south America because of its winding streets and colorful houses which are a delight to explore. The Barrío Historico (historic quarter), was named a UNESCO heritage site.
Colonia del Sacramento is just across the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires. There are mainly two options to get there, one by a quick ferry of about 45 minutes or a 3 hours one. We recommend you take the one that is quicker so you make sure to be able to spend more time in Colonia. You can visit Colonia and enjoy it to the fullest in just one day. Leaving in the morning will allow you to walk the entire town, have a wonderful lunch and then head back before nightime. Enjoy the excellent restaurants, art and craft shops, museums and a large yacht harbor that this unique place has to offer.
