Overview
Together, we’ll explore the essential places that make Colonia unique, while uncovering the stories, characters, conflicts, traditions, and curiosities hidden behind its beautiful colonial streets.
But this experience is about more than history. Along the way, I’ll introduce you to some of the customs and everyday traditions that are part of what it means to be Uruguayan.
And, of course, there will always be mate involved.
By the end of the walk, you’ll have discovered the essential Colonia, learned a little more about Uruguay, and hopefully feel that you didn’t just visit the city…you actually experienced it.
What will we discover?
• The Historic Quarter and its fascinating history
• The iconic City Gate and old defensive walls
• The famous Street of Sighs
• Colonial architecture and hidden details
• Stories, legends and curiosities of the city
• Uruguayan culture and everyday traditions
• And, naturally, a little mate along the way
