Colonial gem
Just a two-hour boat ride from Buenos Aires on the Rio de la Plata, Uruguay is home to the ancient port city and UNESCO-protected Colonia del Sacramento, a beautiful colonial gem. Especially striking are the many vintage cars that drive through the streets with cobble stones. It's lovely to spend a day strolling around this quaint town; hire a guide to get the history to a while and enjoy the authentic bars and romantic restaurants.
