Colonia, Uruguay

We travelled by bus from Montevideo on Thursday morning to Colonia del Sacramento, located a few miles southeast of the confluence of the Uruguay River and the Rio de la Plata. Its historic district has been declared a World Heritage Site to illustrate the successful fusion of styles Portuguese, Spanish and post-colonial. It was the first settlement in what is now considered Uruguayan territory. We stayed at the following hostel while visiting the town.
