A LUXURY VACATION TO COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO
On the banks of the Rio de la Plata, the cobbled streets of Colonia’s old town provides a picturesque image of colonial Uruguay.
Days here are spent exploring the quiet streets leafy plazas and the ancient fort (this was an old Portuguese settlement before they were ousted by the Spanish in 1828). It is world’s away from Buenos Aires on the other bank of the River Plate estuary.
Colonia’s charming colonial houses with faded paintwork, vintage cars on the streets and flowering ceibo, jasmine and lapacho trees make it a perfect spot for a night or two of relaxation – and we’ve got just the posada for you.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO
Half an hour to the north and even slower in pace than Colonia, the little town of Carmelo sits amidst vineyards, orchards and olive groves.
Stay at our favourite wine lodge and picnic amongst the vines, or wander into the village for a lazy afternoon lunch at one of its delightful little restaurants.
