Colonia del Sacramento is a quite town across the Rio de La Plata from Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is on old 17th century Portuguese settlement and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. After the noise of Buenos Aires, it makes for a nice quiet day trip or overnight excursion. It is reached via a 3 hour ferry or 1 hour hydrofoil trip from Buenos Aires.
Just returned from Uruguay; absolutely LOVED Colonia and Montevideo. Would return in a heartbeat! The hydrofoil from Argentina was clean and fast. The people in Uruguay were warm and friendly. Ready to leave Florida again for a longer stay in Uruguay!!
