A lovely but tiring day. Colonia del Sacramento is a chilled city with a lot of history. The guide was knowledgeable. The walk was relatively short and easily manageable despite the high temperatures. Remember to bring swimming costumes as there is time for a dip in the River Plate. Would recommend.
Did the ferry ride with walking tour in Spanish. So many cute places to eat, have a snack or a drink. Great day trip for photos and different t experience outside of BA. Save money and choose your own restaurant and remember to exchange currency on the ferry.
