At first we were afraid of the distance from Montevideo to Colonia, but the trip is beautiful. All along the way the view is beautiful. Miguel, our Guide with great knowledge of history and also an excellent driver, was very careful and slowly was telling us the whole and immense history of Colonia do Sacramento.
Coming there... what a surprise... what a beautiful, cozy, clean, charming place! We had a wonderful day and, for sure, Miguel made all the difference.
