And now for something completely different!
If Punta del Este is everything modern and hip in Uruguay, Colonia del Sacramento, on the east bank of the Río de la Plata, is everything historic and quaint. The center of the city has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and still maintains much of what I have to assume was its original feel.
We enjoyed a long photowalk through the historic district. Many of today’s photos are in infrared to accentuate the contrast between greenery (very bright) and stone and metal (very dark).

Thank you for following along!
