    • Colonia Del Sacramento: Visit the city of Colonia del Sacramento, with its charming cobbled streets and historic buildings. Now a UNESCO World heritage site, this colorful destination was originally founded by the Portuguese in the 1600s.
    • Montevideo: Sip and savor the wines of Juanicó winery, a 1000-acre vineyard that has been harvesting grapes since 1835. On your tour, learn about the privileged soil and micro-climate of the Juanicó Region that has turned this area into a renowned viticulture site.
