We were traveling through Uruguay by car for 2 weeks and started our journey in Buenos Aires, from where we took the ferry across to Colonia. This is a route I can highly recommend, the ferry ride is convenient and very comfortable, luggage is checked in and customs formalities are dealt with much like at an airport. Colonia is a beautiful historic town, the oldest in Uruguay, and very worth a stopover. It is also an ideal starting point for traveling through Uruguay. There, I would highly recommend staying at the Charco Hotel - it is beautifully situated right by the ocean and within easy walking distance to the town center. The rooms are beautifully appointed, in our case with a large terrace and a separate sitting room. The restaurant is outstanding - if you chose not to stay at the hotel overnight, it is well worth visiting the restaurant for lunch or dinner. Service and food are impeccable, the setting is gorgeous!
