About this trip
This short break splits your time between Buenos Aires and a day trip across the water to Uruguay. The Río de la Plata separates the two countries, and from Buenos Aires it looks more like an ocean than a river.
The highlight is Colonia del Sacramento, an old colonial village about 60km away by ferry, known for its quiet, well-preserved streets. It is a calm contrast to the pace of Buenos Aires itself.
With only four days, this suits travellers who want a taste of both Argentina and Uruguay without a long commitment.
