    The historic city of Colonia del Sacramento, founded in 1680, evokes images of ancient Lisbon for its Portuguese-style architecture and winding streets. Colonia is located in the southwestern part of Uruguay, on the Río de la Plata, and in 1995 UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. You can visit Colonia easily by ferry from Buenos Aires in just a day trip, and this is one of the reasons that make its beaches a popular destination of great tourist attraction for Argentines. Among its main monuments are the Church Matrix, which is the oldest in the country, the Municipal Museum and a port dating from the seventeenth century that merges harmoniously with the river.

  • La Calle de los Suspiros, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
    It is born in the Plaza Mayor and continues on a slope to the Río de la Plata. It is a narrow street with Portuguese characteristics, cobbled with a wedge and without sidewalks. The sides are tilted towards the center to form a drainage channel. The houses, built in the first half of the 18th century, have stone walls, tile roofs and ceramic floors. The doors and windows are small and made of wood, although only houses with a gabled roof are preserved.
    15 minutes
  • Puerta de la Ciudadela, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
    It was built in the year 1745 by order of the Portuguese governor Vasconcellos who at that time was leading these lands. In its origins the Door was the portico of entrance to Colony, protected at that time by a strong military of thick walls that were frequent target of pirate attacks, Spanish and English.
    15 minutes
  • Faro de Colonia del Sacramento, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
    It was built in January 1857. It has two red flashes every nine seconds. It is a circular tower of white masonry with a dome with white and red radial stripes. It has a unique structure with a square base and a cylindrical tower that reaches the lantern. It was built on one of the old towers of the Convent of San Francisco, whose ruins are at the foot of the lighthouse. Its height is 26 meters and has a luminous range of 7.8 nautical miles
    5 minutes
  • Basilica De Santisimo Sacramento, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
    The Basilica has a most unusual altar feature for its time and even now; an back lit semi-circular alcove that features a very large monstrance (receptacle for displaying the Sacred Host or Blessed Sacrament). The outside brickwork shows the Portuguese influence of its builders.

Not worth the money - $250/person for the 5 min. transfer from hotel to the port + $70 boat fee + 2 hours tour guide - your charge is way too high.

Lovely town. Definitely worth the visit and to explore and get the history of another country. Our guide was great and gave us a comprehensive run down and tour of the town. Then gave us two hours to have lunch and explore. Lots of restaurants and shops to explore. Just be prepared to spend some time in both directions going through customs and immigration. It's about 2 hours on each side, which adds to the day.

This premium day trip to Colonia del Sacramento was absolutely excellent from start to finish and exceeded my expectations. In Buenos Aires, my guide Jesus was extremely prompt, communicative, and professional. He picked me up right on time and made the ferry process smooth and stress-free. Customs and immigration for the ferry can feel more chaotic than an airport, but Jesus guided me step-by-step through check-in and boarding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and bilingual (English and Spanish), and he also shared helpful local tips before departure. Once in Uruguay, Lily was truly a standout. She is an absolute gem. Her English is impeccable, and her historical knowledge rivals that of a professor, enhanced by over 20 years of living experience in Colonia. She is clearly well known and respected by local artisans, residents, and business owners—I even overheard others say she was the best guide, and they were right. Lily is a fantastic storyteller with a great sense of humor. She gave thoughtful recommendations on where to eat and shop, pointed out where to find the best value, and helped us avoid tourist traps without ever making it feel transactional. Her care and pride in Colonia really showed throughout the day. Colonia itself is charming and beautiful, especially beyond the main historic sites. Walking the outer areas revealed excellent restaurants, cafés, gelato shops, urban art, and stunning architecture. A few practical tips: arrive early for the ferry to clear customs and immigration and to get better open seating. Food and drinks are available onboard, so skip the café at the ferry terminal. Traveling light makes the experience even smoother. Also, there are many stray dogs in colonia that according to Lily are taken care of by the locals, they are sweet, if i ever go back i would feed them. I highly recommend this trip. The ferry ride is calm and scenic, Colonia is lovely, and the experience is elevated by two exceptional guides who truly care about what they do.
