About this experience
Discover Colonia del Sacramento through its history, we will do more than a tour, it will be a talk between mates, anecdotes and corners full of past. You will walk through the cobblestone streets of the historic center, hear legends that do not appear in the books and understand why each wall of this city keeps a story to tell. With an authentic, close and curious look, I invite you to relive the moments that made Cologne a unique place in the Rio de la Plata and America. Ideal for those who enjoy learning while marveling, without formalities and with lots of local charm. Unforgettable sunsets, cobblestone streets and stories that will make you travel back in time.
