Take a boat from Buenos Aires and sail across the Rio de la Plata to reach Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Spend a day strolling cobblestone streets and admiring centuries-old architecture in a combination of guided sightseeing and free time.

Meet up with your driver outside your hotel, where you are picked up and taken to the ferry. Grab a seat on a spacious boat and throw off the mooring lines while your captain sets a course for the country across the “Sweet sea”—what the first settlers called the Río de la Plata. When you arrive, explore the neighborhood's museums, parks, and cathedrals, snapping photos as you listen to intriguing commentary about the area's history.

Enjoy an afternoon bobbing between elegant waterfront mansions and charming marinas before you tie up at a nearby dock. Check out Montevideo's sights on your own or opt to grab lunch at a local restaurant before getting on the boat and heading back to Buenos Aires.

Pick up and drop off at centrally located hotels in Buenos Aires ( Palermo, Recoleta, City centre) We also make pickups and dropoffs at Airbnb, but you need to provide us exact address. Pickup time may be subject to change based on the Buquebus ferry schedule for the day. ( In some cases there may not be direct ferries to Montevideo and in that situation, the pickup changes to a later pickup time and a shorter ferry ride from Colonia with a bus ride included from Colonia to Montevideo)
