About this activity

Discover the Old Town of Colonia del Sacramento with a local guide who will tell you the history and curiosities of each place, in addition to recommending the best restaurants and activities in the city and the area.

The walking tour lasts approximately 1:30 hours and is done in small groups.

After the walking tour we will proceed to the mate experience, that will take place in the beautiful 1875 house "Casa Abierta". You will learn the history and tradition of mate, its curiosities, how to prepare it, and you will be able to taste this important part of the culture of Uruguay.

Colonia del Sacramento is a picturesque and welcoming city, a must-see when visiting Uruguay or Buenos Aires. It can be seen in just one day, but it is recommended to spend a night to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Uruguay and walk through the Old town under the warm light of the typical lanterns from Colonia.

Hope to see you soon!
