Further Afield: a boat trip from Buenos Aires to Uruguay

Further Afield from Buenos Aires

Just outside the boundaries of the sprawling metropolis of Buenos Aires lie several options for day trips that will feel like a world away.

Take the ferry across the river to the historic Uruguayan town of Colonia, head north of Buenos Aires city to the river side town of Tigre, with its colorful summer houses built around a warren of waterways, or unleash your inner gaucho in the Pampas towns of Lujan or San Antonio, where you can go horse- riding and have an asado (barbecue) at an estancia.
