9 Nature & Parks in Colonia del Sacramento That You Shouldn't Miss

September 12, 2021 Alice Mieles

The historic quarter of Colonia del Sacramento, founded in 1680, evokes old Lisbon with its Portuguese-influenced architecture and winding streets. The area, located in southwestern Uruguay on the Rio de la Plata, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. It's an easy day trip by ferry from Buenos Aires, making the beaches a popular Argentinean escape. Major sights include Iglesia Matriz, the country's oldest church, the Municipal Museum and a 17th-century port jutting into the river.

This place is very busy every night with sightseers watching the sun go down. You can also see Buenos Aires in the distance.

Reviewed By 70janinej

Sandra and her husband are very welcoming and easy going persons. Making the appointment & booking the tour via WhatsApp was super easy. Their horses are all in a very good shape, well trained and handsome. I had a great ride on horseback to the beach including riding in the river! It was a special moment, nobody else there, only us and some birds ???? Sidenotes: the Gaucho Style is a different Style from riding in Germany (but they will help & teach u) Think about the right trousers to wear (; shorts wouldn’t be the best... ever saw a rider in shorts?! Even not when u really want to ride on horseback (; Thanks for the adventure!
