Take some winding, cobbled streets, add an intriguing history and put them on a gorgeous point overlooking the Río de la Plata. What do you get? Colonia del Sacramento.
This charming little coastal town dating back to the 17th century should not be missed. A former fortress and smuggling port now protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, has wonderful old Portuguese colonial architecture and streets shaded by sycamores?. The old Barrio Historico is a slow-paced hamlet?, a place to stroll cobblestone lanes, linger under palm trees in the park or sit and watch local fishermen cast for the day's catch.
