Reisroute
Reizigers kunnen een bezoek brengen aan het historische centrum van Colonia del Sacramento, dat door UNESCO tot werelderfgoed is verklaard. We wandelen over de geplaveide straten, langs koloniale lantaarns, muren en met uitzicht op de Río de la Plata. Onze gids vertelt verhalen over de Portugese stichting, de Spaans-Portugese architectuur en de legendes die nog steeds in de omgeving leven. Het is de ideale plek om kennis te maken met de geschiedenis, unieke foto's te maken en te genieten van de tijdloze charme van de stad.
Reizigers bezoeken het iconische Plaza de Toros Real de San Carlos, een architectonisch juweeltje dat in 1910 werd geopend en onlangs is gerestaureerd. Dit historische monument, uniek in zijn soort in Zuid-Amerika, combineert het Spaanse stierenvechtverleden met de Uruguayaanse culturele identiteit. Tijdens uw bezoek kunt u de smeedijzeren structuur bewonderen, een rondleiding door de galerijen volgen en meer te weten komen over de verhalen die het korte maar intense leven als podium kenmerkten. Het is een ideale plek voor fotografie, bezinning en verbinding met het lokale erfgoed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing day with Andrés exploring Colonia and visiting the Fripp Winery. Colonia is beautiful and Andrés filled our visit with stories about its history as well as personal stories about growing up there and the local culture. The winery was beautiful, even in winter, and we enjoyed a tour and a fantastic lunch with paired wines. Andrés looked after us the whole day making our tour really personal and fun, it was like being shown around a small part of Uruguay by a good friend. Can’t recommend this tour and Andrés highly enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our tour guide, Andres, gave us some wonderful moments. The visit to the Lahusen winery was a fantastic experience, the lunch there was excellent, and all the information Andres shared with us made the day trip a true highlight of our South American vacation. Our rating: 5 stars plus plus
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I’m delighted to know that the visit to Lahusen Winery was a highlight of your South American journey. Sharing the history, wines, and local flavors of Colonia is always a joy, and I’m glad the lunch and stories added to your experience. Your “5 stars plus plus” rating truly means a lot. I look forward to welcoming you back for more discoveries and memorable moments in Uruguay!
If I could give this tour ten stars, I absolutely would. My mother and I had the pleasure of joining Andrés for the Silex Tours: Wine, History and Culture in Colonia del Sacramento, and it was truly spectacular from beginning to end. Andrés is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about both the region’s history and its wines. He created such a welcoming atmosphere that it felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a friend who knows everything about Colonia. The balance of history, culture, and wine was perfect. Andrés shared fascinating stories about Colonia while guiding us through beautiful places we would never have discovered on our own. And the wine… my mother summed it up perfectly when she said it was stunning. Every tasting felt thoughtfully chosen and gave us a wonderful introduction to Uruguayan wines. This experience will remain one of the highlights of our trip. My mother and I will be talking about this day for years to come. Thank you, Andrés, for such a memorable and special experience. If you are visiting Colonia, do not miss this tour. 🍷
Erin, thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was a true pleasure to spend the day with you and your mother, sharing Colonia’s stories, wines, and hidden corners together. I’m delighted it felt more like a day with a friend than a tour—that’s exactly the spirit I hope everyone takes away. And I couldn’t agree more: the wine tastings are a highlight, especially when enjoyed with great company. I’ll be thrilled to welcome you back anytime for more history, culture, and another glass (or two!) of Uruguay’s finest.
Our day with Andrés was beyond magical. The personal tour was made extremely special knowing he grew up in the town and still lives there. It was more than just a historical tour but one of shared experiences, culture, and knowledge. Book this unforgettable experience now and come very hungry for the lunch!
