Magical sunsets at Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay

The harmonious peninsula of Colonia del Sacramento, where local music is played along the cobbled streets, is located south-west of Montevideo. Here you are embraced by a warm and loving atmosphere. Romantic Rio de la Plata is a great place to watch the sunsets from with your loved ones. If you have already visited the old historical world heritage and have eaten good food in one of the peninsula’s cozy restaurants, take the ferry to Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is only 50 km away.
