Colonia del Sacramento, Colonia, Uruguay




I took a ferry from Buenos Aires along the Rio de la Plata to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. It is a Portuguese settlement founded in 1680. El Faro, the lighthouse, was built in 1857. La Plaza de Toros is the bullfighting ring. There were only 8 bullfights there because two years after it was built in 1910 bullfighting was prohibited.
One U.S. dollar = 24 Uruguay pesos. A Coca-Cola or agua mineral costs 35 pesos.
