My name is Favio, and I am a local tour guide and tour operator with 4 years of guiding experience. I come from a family deeply rooted in the Tourism industry in Uruguay, which has given me a strong foundation and passion for welcoming travellers. Having lived several years in the United States, I speak English at a very high level, which allows me to connect easily with international guests. What makes my tours different is the professional balance I bring: the right mix of charisma, meaningful insights and up-to-date context that helps visitors truly understand Colonia in the times we live in. My approach is personal and flexible—I work with small private groups and include transportation, with itineraries adapted to the interests of my guests—ensuring authentic local connections and unique experiences in Colonia del Sacramento and its surroundings (including day trips to Montevideo if requested).

Discover the charm of Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage city filled with cobblestone streets, colonial houses, and river views. On this tour, besides the historic quarter, we'll stroll along the vineyards of Los Cerros de San Juan Winery, the oldest one in Uruguay, founded in 1854. Together we'll explore its stone cellars, as you learn about the region’s winemaking tradition and about the Lahusen family. You'll also enjoy a guided tasting of selected wines paired with local cheeses. In addition to the winery, we'll also be stopping at the C’ARS Museum, home to a fascinating collection of vintage cars, tools and period décor that recreate the spirit of early automotive history. And once you're back in Colonia’s old town after our day together, you'll be able to stroll through the quiet streets or enjoy a drink by the Río de la Plata at sunset. This experience blends culture, history and nostalgia, appealing to both wine and car lovers.

The tour starts at the Port of Colonia del Sacramento, right outside the Ferry Terminal Building. I will be waiting at the main exit area, holding a sign with the tour name. The port is just a few minutes from the historic quarter and easy to reach by foot or taxi. Alternative meeting points within Colonia (such as hotels in the city centre or the bus terminal) can be arranged upon request at the time of booking.
