Colonia Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles

Colonia

Colonia was founded in 1680 by the Portuguese and has served as a port for contraband for a number of years. It is recommended that you take the early(9am) boat, enjoy the day in Colonia, and return on the evening(7pm) boat. Remember to get to the ferry port early because buying the ferry tickets is not a trivial matter and you will have to go through all the customs procedures because you will be entering a different country(bring your passport).

Colonia del Sacramento, or simply Colonia, is a lively colonial town, with narrow cobble stoned streets flanked by whitewashed buildings. A trip to this charming town will seem like a trip back in time. Being only a small body of water away from Buenos Aires, Colonia could be a convenient side-trip on your vacation.

Without a doubt, Colonia is well worth a day. Spend half of it on a guided tour and the other half exploring at your own pace. Several small hotels are located in the historic area.
For information on the climate and temperatures in Colonia please visit the Buenos Aires Weather page. The weather in the two destinations is pretty much the same.

Hoppa offers an easy way for you and your friends to get around Colonia.
