| Page Views: 5,477 Last Visit to Colonia del Sacramento: September, 2007 | A beautiful old town in Uruguay by barryg23 - last update: Feb 14, 2009 |
After two fantastic weeks in Buenos Aires, we left Argentina for Uruguay, and moved across the Rio de la Plata to Colonia del Sacramento, a relaxing and beautiful town, whose Barrio Historico, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracts tourists in big numbers.
Apart from its obvious beauty, what struck us most about Colonia was the pace of life - it seemed so much slower than Buenos Aires. It´s a fantastic place to unwind for a couple of days and is easily accessible from Buenos Aires. Many people visit Colonia on day trips from Buenos Aires, but two or three days is much better if you can spare the time. |

I am an Uruguayan from Miami, married for 33 years to an American fluent in Spanish who adores my country. Great Colonia comments! Looking forward for the Montevideo ones. (Mike also loves chivitos and Pilsen )We bought a condo in Malvin . | toonsarah Fri Jul 4, 2008 09:56 UTC
Looks really lovely here. You and Kay between you have got me thinking about Uruguay as a possible future destination! I'm a sucker for a good sunset too ;) | Philippadunstan Fri Feb 15, 2008 21:58 UTC
