We're off to a new country: Uruguay! In this episode, we'll take Buquebus ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento. This is just a short ferry crossing across the River Plate that takes about an hour. Colonia is a popular day trip from Buenos Aires, but if you have a bit more time, it's nice to spend a few days enjoying this charming town. We'll talk about costs, show you what the ferry crossing is like, and once we get settled into our apartment in Colonia, we'll take you out for our first Uruguayan barbecue.
If you are thinking of going from Argentina to Uruguay taking the Buquebus ferry is your best option. You can take the shorter crossing of Buenos Aires to Colonia; however, you also have the option of doing the longer crossing to Montevideo. Alternatively there is an overland crossing by bus which you can take at night if you're looking to save on accommodations for the evening. I did that over 10 years ago; however, given the choice we'd go with the ferry. We were all feeling really excited to be in Uruguay together and to go out for one of our first of many Uruguayan bbq (also known as Uruguayan asado). We're looking forward to sharing more travel videos from Uruguay soon.
