Colonia City: The Portuguese roots of this old city in Uruguay date back to the 17th century. A Unesco World Heritage site, Colonia del Sacramento is an intimate town with gorgeous Río de la Plata views, a perfect setting for a relaxed day of strolling about cobblestone streets submerged in remnants of colonial times. Colonia’s must-see list includes the harbor, the town’s center, Ferrando beach, the nature reserve, and the beautiful promenade along the coast, the Real de San Carlos, the bullring, the horse racing track, and the old port. As offered in many major cities around the world, we will take the bus tour (with an audio guide).
