Colonia Private Tours |
|
Colonia del Sacramento is one of Uruguay's most compelling destinations. And with good reason! The city's cobbled streets exude layers upon layers of history, and its spectacular setting overlooking the Rio de la Plata makes it even more attractive. Take a private Colonia tour and discover the secrets of this World Heritage-listed city with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide.
The city's Faro or lighthouse stands guard over the ruins of the 17th century Convento de San Francisco. Climb up the lighthouse's winding staircase for superb views of Colonia's Old Town and the beaches below. Your guide will wander with you through the town's atmospheric streets and squares, such as the grand Plaza Mayor 25 de Mayo and the shady Plaza de Armas. They'll tell you stories of the region's history as you go, and make sure you stop to sample some of the regional cuisine at one of the many restaurants and cafes.
Enjoy getting to know the city with a local on your private Colonia tour! |
