Colonia, Uruguay is one of the most popular tourist destinations for those visiting Argentina, and specifically Buenos Aires. It’s estimated that around 25% of all visitors coming to Buenos Aires also visit Colonia on their trip, many of them on day trips. The city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is one of the more historic towns in all of South America. Unfortunately, according to the city’s board of tourism, Colonia has a problem keeping its visitors for more than just a day. As a result, the local economy isn’t capitalizing on its potential, and the city is actively trying to change its image to help fix it. Colonia has a wide range of hotels and recreational options which they believe make the city an appealing long-term vacation destination. You can get to Colonia by ferry from Buenos Aires in about an hour, and tickets are very reasonably priced.
