The beaches outside Colonia

The beaches outside Colonia are probably too far to walk for most people but are an easy taxi ride away. I was struck by how clean the city truly is and the great pride residents there take in ensuring the city retains its charm. Families were out in force enjoying the water, beaches, and restaurants. Colonia is one of those special towns, and for me, definitely in the top 5 of the journey.

The streets are just so charming in old town Colonia.

Looking down on Rio Plata and the beaches of Colonia.

You can almost see Buenos Aires under the cloud in the horizon.

Little islands in the river added to the beauty.

Nice modern homes right next to the beach staring at $199K.

The old bull fighting ring which has fallen into disrepair.
