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.

BEST SHOP WE FOUND. This is not you normal china made junk stuff. They have loads of handmade artesian goods including artwork, ceramics, tin & copper made goods, clothing and pottery. All were cutely laid-out in the shop. You won't find these items in other souvenir shops. Very Unique. LOVED THIS VERY CUTE SHOP! BOTTOM LINE: Our favorite souvenir artesian shop in Colonia del Sacramento. What a breathe of fresh air after browsing normal souvenir stores. These items found here are the real deal. Pricing was a little higher but the value for one-of-a-kind products were well worth it I thought. Most things we saw, we did not see anywhere else. BOTTOM LINE: 10/10
