Day 78 Colonia del Sacramento

Colonia is a small village from the XVII century which is very well preserved. It is just accross the bay from Buenos Aires and was built by the Portuguese to sell goods to Argentina.




It is a very touristy village for people from Montevideo and Buenos Aires, and is just a great place to relax.






We stayed in a very nice hostel which had free bikes so we could go on a tour to enjoy the beach side.



Appart from that, there is not much to do or see, but in the evening, the place is full of nice restaurant with live music.





In the night, we took a ferry to Buenos Aires, just 50 min away. It is one of the only transportation mean which we hadn't used to cross a border.
