Introducing Colonia del Sacramento
Take some winding, cobbled streets, add an intriguing history and put them on a gorgeous point overlooking the Río de la Plata. What do you get? A major tourist attraction.
But the snap-happy hordes can’t kill the atmosphere of ‘Colonia’. This place has got ‘it’, whatever that is, as well as enough restaurants, bars and nightlife to keep you happy for weeks.
