Would suggest to arrive early to book tours. There was a long line ahead of us but they were able to accommodate everyone. Tour times vary depending on the month so check their website which has accurate information. Cost is 90 Uruguayan pesos or about $3 USD, payable only in cash and pesos. Tours are in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Guide spoke English well. There were only four people on the English tour. Guided tour is one hour.

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.

We had two days in Montevideo. On day one, we explored the old town and markets and on day two, we cycled here for lunch and to visit the Montevideo sign at the eastern end of the beach.

Over the Paraná Guazu or "river as wide as the sea" in guaraní language, as the Rio de la Plata is locally known, the shore is a symbol of the quiet lifestile of the local "Montevideanos". It extends for 18 km from the "Ciudad Vieja" (old town of the colonial times) with a series of beaches till the fancy neighbourhood of "Carrasco". Getting a bike for a ride (on the sidewalk) is a must. Great for running or just for a relaxing walk as well. Good for all ages. Where to start? Ok, Pocitos beach is a good option, either going West (direction downtown) or East (direction Carrasco). Other recommended beach to try, Playa Verde, or Punta Gorda Point from you can have a nice view of the sunset and the city.

This very nice beach is a favorite for beach-goers as well as for beach fishing. Since it's the Mansa (river) side of the PdE peninsula, it tends to have smaller waves.

Beautiful day and view of the port. From fishing boats to fine yachts, it is a nice stroll. Clean and safe for visitors. Enjoy the fresh fish market and watch the vendor clean and sell fish.

Wonderful Vineyard with Outstanding Wine Visited Viña Eden December 2018 and had a wonderful afternoon. Outstanding wine, Especially the Sparkling wine, which to me is frankly even better than French Champagne and the Cerro Negro Blend of Red Wine which is just outstanding. We had a pic-nic under a lovely tree as we were served a sandwich and an outstanding Cous Cous. We had two people waiting on us and the service was just impeccable. We also visited the production facilities and enjoyed the beautiful views. Very cool modern vineyard that is very ecologically conscious being energy self sufficient with wind and solar electricity generation (super cool!). Finally it is close to Punta and just over one hour from Montevideo making it a wonderful activity when visiting Uruguay.
