Colonia del Sacramento Ranches - Reviews and Rates

So after a a great dinner in Buenos Aires and copious amounts of wine, Craig and I stayed up all night for some stupid reason and hopped onto a boat to Uruguay. We rented this 2 man dune buggies and drove around town. Man, was that fun! Anyway, Colonia is a sleepy little beach side town and wasnt too much to do otherwise, so it was just a short ...

On Monday morning we were up at 7am as we had to be at the ferry terminal at 7.45am to check in for our ferry over to Colonia which is in Uruguay. It was weird because the check in was like at an airport! The ferry over was 1 hour and I am happy to report that I was not sea sick!! Anyone that knows me any bit knows that I hate boats and plane be...

Joe says: Colonia is a pretty spot and seriously easy to reach from BA, only took an hour on the ferry. We had went to the travel agent next door to our hostel in BA to book the tickets, to say that the lady that delt with us was a snotty ***** would be a complement to her. We asked her bout tickets, she barked back at us "when did we want to go...

DESTINATION 20 - Across the waters to URUGUAY! Day 1 - The colonial streets of COLONIA! Uruguay hadn't been on the original plan but with it being so close to Buenos Aires and a natural way north to get to Iguazu Falls we thought we would check it out! After a 1hr30 minute catamaran ride across Rio Uruguay, which bizarrely we thought took 3 hour...

After getting our nightbus into Buenos Aires, we felt drops of rain at 6am and crossed our fingers and hoped that the Buquebus ferry terminal would be open and serve us a little coffee. The terminal is space-age! Great coffee and the Argentinian staple of medialunas (sweet croissants). The ferry crossing took 3 hours and took us to Uruguay. Who ...

Firstly - a beard update! Both me and Andrew were planning on not having a shave or haircut for the entire three months in South America (just for a laugh, although there was money mentioned at one stage). Andrew gave up weeks ago, whereas I still battled on. However I finally admitted that I was starting to look like a bit of an idiot and got r...

After a nights stay in B.A. and some well need rest we took the ferry to Uruguay. We took the 3 hour "slow" boat. This ferry was a beast, I would say more like a cruise ship. They had it set up so you didn´t even realize you were walking onto a boat it just felt like you were walking into a very large room. The ride was super smooth and Chris an...

So after a wonderful time in Buenos Aires we took a ferry across the river to the port town of Colonia in Uruguay. The weather was so sunny and beautiful so naturally I sat outside the whole 3 hour ride and it was glorious with the sun in my face and the wind in my hair (yes cheesy but I loved it). Upon arrival I fell in love with the town. It i...

I decided to maker one last detour. Not on the original schedule but figuered what the hell. I have the time and a page in my passport. Uruguay is meant o be more relaxed than its neighbour Argentina and I have to say it does come across that way.- Less arrrogant perhaps but in Argentiina´s defence, they have alot to be rightly arrogant about. I...
