Fast Ferry for a Big River

 

 

 

 

 

With some early morning haze in the air, we were a little surprised to find out that the river between BA and Uruguay is too wide to see from one side to the other. The fast ferry, a serious vessel with capacity for hundreds of tourists and commuters and some number of cars and trucks, crosses the 25 or so miles in a little under an hour. And there is the excitement of customs and immigration control, which is all handled on the Buenos Aires side for both Argentina and Uruguay when leaving Argentina and on the Colonia side for both countries on the return. The crossing is part of the fun, comfortable, reasonably efficient and an opportunity to look up and down the river.

Colonia -A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Colonia is mostly for tourists. The dominant view is of the classic lighthouse. It is a walking town with a a ring of restaurants and “bistros” ringing the plaza. It comes across as a well preserved 100 year old with some decent photo galleries and shops. Its easy to have a good time here for a few hours, there are plenty of good photo ops and the adventure of walking along old cobblestone streets and walks. We even came across what looked like a moat and drawbridge as we approached the wall of the old city.
