As I said in another video of your series, this is an interesting one but outdated. Because of the pandemic, all borders are closed, there is no ferry and in fact the port of Colonia has been closed for over a year. It is very sad to see the town so empty, no international tourism, which is the blood of the town. We look forward to better times and reopening, hopefully soon, at least here the vaccination program is going well. If you ever come back to Colonia, don't forget to visit the Museo del Origami, the only museum of paperfolding in the Americas and just one of the only two in the Western Hemisphere (www. musedelorigami. org. It is right around the corner of the Muralla in the Historic District. Good luck and stay safe!

Great video as always Mark!
I'm uruguayan, but I left the country a couple of years ago. I'm living in Spain, which has been the greatest decision I've ever made.
However, from the outside and as a traveler myself, I tend to think that perhaps I never enjoyed traveling in my own country as I should have. I'm from Montevideo, so the two times I returned since I left, I just went there and to the east region.
BTW, I'm missing chivito and asado very much
Hahaha.

Nice video! I went there two years ago in July and it was nice. I agree with everything you said in the video. For some (like myself) being in Colonia half a day may be better because it is a pretty small place. After that it is better to take the bus to Montevideo for spending the night, and that way you have a whole next day in the capital. I would also advise to get your bus tickets to Montevideo ahead of time before exploring Colonia.

I have a good friend who is from Argentina and he has been telling me for years that he wants to take me to Uruguay for all of the reason you talked abut in your video. After seeing this video I may just have to go without him( although I would love to go to with someone who knows their way around) because it looks so nice and a place I would really enjoy! You made my Sunday! Thank you!

YES! This was my favorite place that we visited during our week in Uruguay! Derek and I stayed at the Charco hotel and had a great time, and loved their restaurant, too! We got off the ferry from BA with rolling carry-on bags, so it's important to be prepared to either get a taxi, pick up your bags, or brave the cobblestones with your wheels!

I was in Uruguay in December 2017. Great weather, great people, amazing cities. When it comes to payments, I mostly used Brazilian credit cards (I had one Visa and one MasterCard on me) and I automatically got a considerable refund. At least at that time, they had a policy of refunding the taxes when you paid with foreign credit cards.

Colonia is a very charming town. Nice video about how great it is. I have been from Colonia to Chuy and all over in between and the entire country is very nice and filled with friendly people. BTW, the best chivito I had there was in a restaurant in the lower level of Tres Cruces!

Looks nice! Still uncertain whether the virus does indeed hide in the nasal cavities and is transmissible after vaccination. Perhaps will be safe for travel later this year. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
