Colonia Uruguy

Interesting little town. Feels like Catalina Island complete with golf carts but there is more history.
Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay is on the Rio de la Plata. It’s one of the oldest towns in Uruguay founded in 1680 by the Portuguese. There were back and forth battles for the City with the Spanish for many years. Into the 1815-1816’s. Then it was under Portuguese control then transferred to Brazil, then transferred to the United Kingdom’s (not the UK one a different one), until it was settled as part of Uruguay.
The money here is Pesos (talk about confusing) but the economy is much more stable than Argentina.Read more
