"Uruguay" Uruguay by Elmsaafir

While in Buenos Aires, just before I was to leave, I took a quick, overnight trip to Colonia, Uruguay. Just 50 minutes or so across the Rio Plata by high speed ferry, it was easy to get to. It's a nice, slow paced, colonial town. Beautiful architecture, with remnants of 16th century walls surrounding the Barrio. It was a nice change from the crazy, hurried life in Buenos Aires, and was a great place to relax and rest up before heading back to the US.

Posada Del Rio and proprietress - Uruguay

This place was wonderful, and at $10 US, a real bargain. It had a central courtyard, breakfast on the porch, and a view... more travel advice

When I travelled to South America, I looked at flying into Montevideo. It was cheaper, though, to fly into Buenos Aires.... more travel advice
