Your journey begins early in the morning, with a private transfer from your hotel in Buenos Aires to the ferry terminal. After going through customs (please note that passports are required), you'll board the ferry for a smooth and pleasant one-hour journey across the Río de la Plata, which separates Argentina from Uruguay.

Upon arrival in Cologne, a local guide will welcome you and lead a 2-hour walking tour through the UNESCO-listed historic quarter. Founded by the Portuguese in 1680, Colonia enchants with its cobblestoned streets and centuries-old landmarks. Highlights include the evocative Street of Sighs, the ruins of the San Francisco Monastery—the oldest in Uruguay—the lighthouse, the Governor's House, and the Basilica of the Holy Sacrament, among other gems of the colonial old town. After the tour, enjoy free time for lunch (not included), before a transfer to your hotel. Overnight in Colonia del Sacramento.
