How to leave such a place? Only with a hope that comebacks are always possible...
Colonia del Sacramento 4
After coming back from Colonia del Sacramento one day I came across a newspaper article about old cars in Uruguay. The author was really delighted with the fact there are so many precious models that in almost every sentence was using the epithet "car-conserving" praising Uruguay. Looking at this photo one cannot disagree...
And this is the extract from the article:
Colonia del Sacramento 3
Apart from the strictly touristic goals many foreigners from Buenos Aires visit the town to extend their stay in Argentina. It looks like Colonia del Sacramento has also some kind of "political tourism" developped. After 90 days validity of a touristic visa most of "los extranjeros" need to leave Argentina but not always want to at the same time. That's why a one hour ferry trip to have the new entrance stamp in a passport seems to make sense considering the Argentinian bureaucratic process of legalization of stay.

It's incredible how such a small town may give you the wide spectrum of intese esthetic impressions.
Uruguay - Colonia del Sacramento
Colonia del Sacramento - the charming city you fall in love with from the first sight. Just one hour by ferry boat accross Rio de la Plata and you are there - in the oldest town in Uruguay with its colourful Barrio Historico designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The photos just speak for themselves. There is no need to make comments...
For those who ask: "Why the river is dirty?" - It's not dirty. It's red or reddish from the laterite that local soil is rich with.
