Real South America takes you by ferry across the Río de la Plata to the lovely colonial city of Colonia and the capital of Uruguay: Montevideo. We spend one night in Colonia, with its quaint, narrow-cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings, making you feel as if you have stepped back in time; and two nights in the capital of Montevideo, surrounded by historic buildings, botanical gardens and beautiful beaches.
