Why visit Colonia del Sacramento

Sights and Landmarks

Follow the seductive purr of tango and gentle hum of waves and you will find your way to Uruguay, a country that bristles with easygoing rusticism and cosmopolitan allure. With over 3 million residents, Uruguay is the second-smallest nation in South America. Popular attractions include Colonia del Sacramento, Punta del Diablo and the Palacio Salvo in Montevideo.

Museums

Cruises

The historic quarter of Colonia del Sacramento, founded in 1680, evokes old Lisbon with its Portuguese-influenced architecture and winding streets. The area, located in southwestern Uruguay on the Rio de la Plata, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. It's an easy day trip by ferry from Buenos Aires, making the beaches a popular Argentinean escape. Major sights include Iglesia Matriz, the country's oldest church, the Municipal Museum and a 17th-century port jutting into the river.
