When we got off the boat, we were greeted by several companies offering ATV/golf carts for $40/day. What a deal! Totally enjoyed the visit for the day with my wife and twin teens. The cart got us to the beach and so many other areas. Ya, if you’re a cheap a.., and just walk into the old town, you’ll be done in two hours. Maybe 4 hrs with a nice lunch. Do that, it’s like being in French or Spanish town on the Med, and simply wonderful. Take a climb up the lights house, but ride around a bit and enjoy! Don’t forget the new one hour time difference and miss your boat back like we (and many others) did! Thanks to your website posting or we wouldn’t have made a very nice day trip!

I find your recommendations and suggestions very useful. I’m going to Bs As this week and hope to end my trip in Colonia.

The recommendation is honest and well-intentioned but… I have to say that to go to Colonia de Sacramento was a HUGE disappointment. The city in itself has an historical quarter – with Portuguese architecture – but 1 hour is more than enough to see everything the city has to offer. Of course, you can drop by a restaurant and have a drink, but a 1 day visit is really a lot of time spent.

Many thanks for your very informative suggestion for a day trip from Buenos Aires. Plan to be in the area next January 2010 after cruising the Antaractica

[...] This is roughly what we’re planning on doing in Colonia, Uruguay one day in the next few weeks… [...]

Do you know anyone sensible and reliable (not loco) to hire as a driver on a skooter? I could never master one by myself? thank you. this would be for around May 25, 09 for the day.

This was really helpful, thanks for posting. I’m thinking of going in Sept as part of a trip to BA. Any hotel recommendations? And do you need a visa?

Will definitely end a trip to South America in Uruguay. What is the best way to get from BA to Carmelo?

Thanks for this wonderful post. AND the photos. We are heading to Buenos Aires in May, and I am beginning to look for things to see & do. This appears to be a “must-do”. Please, if you have a moment, forward me any other info. Regards.
