Colonia del Sacramento
The cobbled Portuguese frontier town across the river.
— Journey —
Ferry 1 h 15 from Buenos Aires
Colonia del Sacramento is the oldest town in Uruguay, a UNESCO-listed quarter of cobbled streets, Portuguese ramparts and river light just over an hour by fast ferry from Buenos Aires. FFGR Argentina coordinates the crossing and a chauffeured day among the historic quarter, the lighthouse and the riverside restaurants — the most graceful of day escapes from the capital.
