Colonia del Sacramento… An inconspicuous town on the west bank of the La Plata River that attracts travelers with its centuries-old charm and atmosphere. It is here that you can feel the spirit of Uruguay’s colonial history and immerse yourself in its picturesque architecture. Even if Colonia wasn’t initially on your list when planning your trip to Buenos Aires, it’s really worth taking a trip there and immersing yourself in the local cuisine and culture for at least one day. Ferry availability is very good, the price is affordable, and the journey takes about an hour. While there, try the famous “chivito” sandwich. This is a true culinary icon of Uruguay: a fresh baguette filled with grilled beef, cheese, bacon, ham, egg, lettuce, and tomato. Stroll through the charming streets of the city and sample local wine and cheese. Sit at Plaza Mayor, the city’s central square, and sip a favourite local drink, yerba mate. You’ll thank yourself for adding this place to your itinerary.
