January 11

After 3 hours in a ferry from Buenos Aires, I finally arrived in Colonia Del Sacramento, the oldest town of Uruguay! It is a World Heritage Site (Patrimoine de l'Unesco).

I spent the whole afternoon in the Barrio Historico, which is a very nice place (quite small though)! The streets are paved, the houses represent different styles (Portuguese and Spanish - Colonia went from being Portuguese to Spanish, to Portuguese to Spanish...).

I went up the famous lighthouse, visited the Basilica del Santisism Sacramento, walked by the river, etc....

Very charming!
