There aren’t enough superlatives to express the wonderful experience we enjoyed at El Legado. Located in Carmelo, the grounds are very well maintained and surrounded by pastoral views. The tour of the vineyard was most informative . Winery owner Bernardo took time to demonstrate each process from training vines to barrel selection. The winery was initially started by his father and you can see clearly what a labour of love it is for Bernardo and his family. Inside, Federico explained the wines (Syrah, Tannat & Blend) The charcuterie paired very nicely with the wines. I could go on about how great the experience was for us, but what I’ll do instead is encourage you to visit this little place of heaven. Hands down this was the best memory making moment of our road trip to Colonia.
4. Antik Objetos con Alma
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 37 reviews
The most notorious picture that will catch your eye about Antik is that it is situated outside the main tour.The owners of this antiques and furniture shop decided to establish themselves at Riachuelo, a charming town 12 Km away from Colonia city. After a wonder through, you will be tempted to enjoy the surroundings and a coffee with cakes and home made cookies.

This historic section of town takes you back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with an array of interesting museums, an historic lighthouse and Uruguay’s oldest church.

While in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my wife and I took the ferry over to Uruguay and spent a beautiful February 2020 day exploring this gorgeous historical neighborhood. From the lovely cobblestones, to the various historic sites such as the lighthouse and convent ruins, to the cannons, there is much to see during a day trip to Colonia del Sacramento. There is also a lot of fascinating history to learn while exploring Barrio Historico.
7. Puerta de la Ciudadela

4.5 based on 2,390 reviews
This drawbridge over a moat was built in 1745 as the only entrance to the city.
Reviewed By CampionePete - Campione d'Italia, Italy
This little historic town, once Portuguese is worth a few hours of exploration and if you can afford it , a $25 lunch at the Florida, a half block away from this gate. The gate & wall are well, just a gate and a wall. But the story behind it is interesting and on a local plaque.
8. Faro de Colonia del Sacramento

Ascend to the top of this still-operating 1857 lighthouse for a lovely view of the city.
Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States
You can't miss visiting this historic lighthouse when visiting Colonia del Sacramento. It is located closer to the ocean part of the fort complex. Yes, you can hike up to the top of the lighthouse and take in the views from a mid-platform and then at the very top. BOTTOM LINE: If you are up to the challenge, in good shape and don't mind tight walkways, then you'll get rewarded with some great views around the del Sacramento historical sight. The price is cheap at just $30 Uruguayan Pesos or about $1 USD! What a deal! The former barracks at the base are just un-restored ruins today but worth a quick look. Loved seeing this historic lighthouse. Well worth seeing. MY RATING: 10/10
9. Rio de la Plata

Bodega Familia Irurtia is a familiar winery you can visit every day very near Carmelo. Uruguay is knew in the world of wine for the Tannat variety, a very tannic and full body red wine, you can taste in our cava. Come for wine and a great moment of conviviality. Please contact us to reserve your guided tour and tasting.
