Part of the bull hill trail which is a wonderful alternative to the now flooded breackneck ridge trail system. If you go as early as 7am to begin your hike, it’ll just be you and nature! There are several unique vistas on the accent where you can take water breaks. The bull hill short loop is only about 2-3 hours long, so not too strenuous. It’s also a loop so you’ll end up right back in the parking lot!

Every bit as magical as the pictures and subsequently your imagination crafts personal expectations. It is fenced off, but that is for our own protection; the ruins are old and may crumble at any point. There are plenty of rocks scattered around the vicinity where you can easily hop up and take a bevy or photos satisfying your social media needs. Best the crowds and go early in the morning!

Perfect cafe to relax and unwind in. The ambiance is soothing, it feels as though you truly are at home in your living room. The coffee itself is delicious and the food delectable as well. There are many treats on offer, the carrot cake in particular looked fantastic, but we opened for the cheese and lemon scones. Both hit the spot. The staff is great as well, providing professional and quick service. A must visit!

My wife and I shared a delicious meal at Viejo Barrio which has prime time location, across the street from the oldest basilica in Uruguay. The menu is an interesting mix of local and Italian cuisine with all of the pastas made in-house. We strongly suggest the past with the addition of chicken or fish, however, our neighbors fish and Milanese dishes looked superb as well. Pricey, but that’s just how it is in Colonia del Sacramento - here you at least get value.
