About this activity

Explore Uruguay’s oldest city with a local guide who will help you make the most of your visit to Colonia del Sacramento.

The experience begins with a panoramic car or van tour through the residential neighborhoods, the last bullfighting arena in southern South America, the coastline, and the beach. Afterwards, we will continue with a guided walking tour through the historic Old Town, where you’ll stroll along charming cobblestone streets and discover the rich and fascinating history of the city through its many chapters.

This tour offers a complete overview of the life, culture, and history of Colonia del Sacramento, while also providing insight into Uruguay’s broader historical context.

Join us in this experience that has been designed mainly for those travellers who only have one day in Uruguay and want to see and understand as much as possible.
