Colonia del Sacramento

A must-see for any visitor to Uruguay is the country's UNESCO World Heritage site, the historic town of Colonia del Sacramento, situated on the River Plate almost opposite Buenos Aires in Argentina. Dating from 1680 the quaint and quirky town is riddled with narrow cobbled streets lined with brightly coloured houses, vibey bars, excellent restaurants and art and craft shops. Colonia is about two hours by road from Montevideo. Local operators offer day trips.
