Full day Excursion to Colonia del Sacramento.

During those years this uprising town was disputed by the Spaniards and the Portuguese, since due to its location it is a strategic privileged point, whose influence can still be appreciated in its architectonic characteristics as well as in its interesting museums. We will appreciate its historic main points that still sep the defensive wall with its gate. We will walk around its old streets, with its white wall colonial style houses that are typically Spanish and its stone made houses that show a typically Portuguese influence. We will also appreciate the lighthouse, the main square, the Portuguese Museum, the Spanish Museum, the Colonial Museum, the Yates Pier and the Bulls Square, which at present has closed its doors since bull rides have been forbidden in the area of the Río de la Plata and, at the same time, this building runs the risk of falling down.
