Step by Step
Travel back in time and change countries for a day with this excursion to Colonia del Sacramento, a Uruguayan city full of history, colonial architecture and charm. The experience starts early in Buenos Aires, where you'll take a fast ferry across the Rio de la Plata in about an hour.
Once you arrive in Colonia, you'll have free time to explore the city on your own. Upon arrival you will receive a map, recommendations and all the information you need to make sure you don't miss the highlights. Highlights include the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Main Square, the Lighthouse, the Street of Sighs and several museums that tell the history of the region.
The pace is up to you: you can take a leisurely stroll through its cobbled streets, sit down for a drink on a terrace, visit an art gallery or sample the local gastronomy in one of its typical restaurants.
The return to Buenos Aires is in the afternoon on the same ferry, which makes this excursion an ideal plan if you want to get out of the city, get to know another country and return the same day without complications.
