Uruguay Field Trip

Uruguay Field Trip: Colonia del Sacramento

March 24, 2008 at 4:03 PM | 0 Comments

Just across the river from Buenos Aires, Colonia del Sacramento is one seriously picturesque tourist town. And like all tourist towns, it's complete with plenty of cozy places to stay, plenty of places to eat and packs of roving dogs. (Btw, it's a World Heritage Site if that's important to you.)

The "city" is a gentle introduction to Uruguay's slower pace and its lispy, looping Spanish. And if you haven't had a chance to hit the bank, no worries: Most places take Argentine pesos, Brazilian reals and US dollars.

There's not much to do besides just chill and take cool photos. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
