Colonia del Sacramento sits across the river from Buenos Aires in neighboring Uruguay, just one hour away by fast ferry. Its charming streets are well worth a day-trip, with cobblestones in all directions, hanging flower baskets and colonial houses. Your local Uruguayan guide will greet you as you disembark the ferry to take you on a slow-paced walking tour of the town. Colonia was founded in 1680 by the Portuguese, and today is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its cobbled streets lined with small bars, restaurants, craft shops and museums. Spend time exploring under your own steam and enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the town's many restaurants.
