Resplan
Den historiska staden Colonia del Sacramento, grundad 1680, framkallar bilder av antika Lissabon för sin portugisiska arkitektur och slingrande gator. Colonia ligger i sydvästra delen av Uruguay, på Río de la Plata, och år 1995 förklarade UNESCO att det var en världsarvslista. Du kan enkelt besöka Colonia med färja från Buenos Aires på en dagsutflykt, och detta är en av anledningarna till att stränderna är ett populärt resmål för en stor turistattraktion för argentinerna. Bland de viktigaste monumenten är kyrkan Matrix, som är den äldsta i landet, Kommunalmuseet och en hamn från det sjuttonde århundradet som sammanfaller harmoniskt med floden.
Den är född i Plaza Mayor och fortsätter på en sluttning till Río de la Plata. Det är en smal gata med portugisiska egenskaper, kullerstens med kil och utan trottoarer. Sidorna är lutade mot mitten för att bilda en avloppskanal. Husen, som byggdes under första hälften av 1700-talet, har stenmurar, kakeltak och keramiska golv. Dörrarna och fönstren är små och gjorda av trä, men endast hus med taktak är bevarade.
Det byggdes år 1745 på order av den portugisiska guvernören Vasconcellos som vid den tiden ledde dessa länder. Dörren var i sitt ursprung portik av inträde till koloni, skyddad vid den tiden av en stark militär av tjocka väggar som var frekventa mål för piratattacker, spanska och engelska.
Den byggdes i januari 1857. Den har två röda blinkningar var 9: e sekund. Det är ett cirkulärt torn av vitt murverk med en kupol med vita och röda radiella ränder. Den har en unik struktur med en fyrkantig bas och ett cylindriskt torn som når lyktan. Det byggdes på en av de gamla tornen i San Francisco-klostret, vars ruiner ligger vid fyrens fot. Dess höjd är 26 meter och har ett ljusområde på 7,8 nautiska mil
Basilikan har en mest ovanlig altare funktion för sin tid och även nu; en baklyst halvcirkulär alkov som har en mycket stor monstrance (behållare för att visa den heliga värd eller välsignat sakrament). Det yttre tegelverket visar portugisiska inflytandet av sina byggare.

This tour was a worry-free way to explore Catalonia from Buenos Aires. We were picked us up from our hotel promptly and taken to the ferry with good directions on how to proceed. Another tour guide met us as we exited the ferry in Uruguay and took us on an informative hour long walking tour. So much history here! We then had about 3 hrs to enjoy the town and explore. We opted for a wine and cheese tasting at a local establishment. Our tour guide then met us to accompany us back to the ferry and again helped us to check in. Back in Buenos Aires, our driver drove us back to our hotel. A great day!
Fantastic experience; from pickup to drop off everyone was professional, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Logistics were super smooth with door-to-door transportation, high speed ferry round trip. Our guide, Mayra, was a lovely ambassador for Uruguayan hospitality and history and provided a wonderful walking tour of Colonia with great local recommendations. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting BA for a fun day trip!
It was a fun experience. Our guide, Ali, was incredible and we learned so much about Colonia and Uruguay from her. Very well organized.
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.
The tour was excellent and worry free! They picked us up from our hotel promptly and directed us to the ferry. Our private tour guide met us as we exit the ferry in Uruguay and we had a very informative 2 hour walking tour of Colonia de Sacremento and its history. We then had about 3 hrs to enjoy the town and explore. Our tour guide then met us to accompany us back to the ferry and checkin. Once we arrived in Buenos Aires, our driver drove us back to our hotel. This tour allowed us to visit Uruguay with ease. Definitely recommend this tour!!!
Ms. Lily gave us an excellent historical overview of Colonia del Sacramento and even recommended great spots to enjoy authentic Uruguayan cuisine. In Argentina, our driver Jesús ensured a safe and comfortable journey with his attentive and professional service. Highly recommended!
A lovely introduction to Uruguay and the unique town of Colonia! It was very helpful to have a driver pick us up from our hotels and navigate our tickets for the ferry to Uruguay. The ferry was large and comfortable and just took 50 min to get us across. Our guide Alejandra was waiting for us at the port as we disembarked with a sign with our names on it - very easy to find. She spoke excellent English and offered a lot of history and background on the country of Uruguay as well as Colonia, which was super interesting. There was so much I was unaware of! The walking tour was about 90min and then we were on our own for lunch and to wander about the small town for 3.5 hours. There were lots of cute small restaurants and stores, but I think 2.5 hours would have been enough for free time - it was exceptionally hot that day and we spent an hour just sitting in a gelato shop just to cool off. Easy ferry ride back and we were greeted by the same driver from the morning who took us back to our hotels. All in all, definitely worth it if you have extra time to spare in Buenos Aires!
Wow. We went here for the day on our honeymoon as one of our last day activities, and just one word: wow! It was the best tour we went on during our trip. Alejandra was very knowledgeable and passionate. We learned so much about Colonia and Uruguay more generally. I would recommend this trip to anyone! Thank you for an amazing time.
