When the sun sets over the Río de la Plata and the lighthouse lights begin to shine, Colonia del Sacramento shows its most mysterious side. Between cobbled alleys and ancient ruins, the walls whisper stories that time failed to erase.
The “Mysteries, Legends and Flavors of Colonia” tour invites you to tour the historic center accompanied by a guide who relives the most captivating stories: the ghost of the lighthouse, the hidden tunnels, the nun who unleashed a storm and the White Lady of the convent.
The walk culminates with a tasting of Uruguayan wine and homemade empanadas, served in a colonial courtyard lit by candles. A unique experience that combines history, mystery and gastronomy, ideal for toasting the secrets that still inhabit the shadows of Cologne.

What To Expect
Porton de Campo
Go through the old field gate and I felt the past engulf you. Walk through the gunboat and discover the imposing Bastion of St. Michael, silent witness to centuries of history. Let the mystique of the iconic Street of Sighs transport you back to another era, amid worn-out cobblestones and walls that still whisper secrets. Surround the Plaza Mayor as you admire the ancient monastery and the majestic silhouette of the lighthouse clipping against the sky. Each step through its cobblestone streets is a living chapter of the historical account of a unique place, where time seems to have stopped.

5.00One of the best city tours we've ever done. Lili is an experienced guide with a lot of knowledge of history and she can tell nicely about it. After an introduction to the history, she will take you on a journey to the special places. There is a beautiful story behind everything. Thank you Lili, for the lovely experience. We're not going to forget this one anytime soon.
