Tour description

This free tour is essential to understand the idiosyncrasy of the old Barrio Sur of Colonia del Sacramento

We will walk through the old cobblestone streets of the Barrio Sur in Colonia, on Sundays at sunset to listen to the thunder of drums loaded with history.
While the emblematic rhythm and cultural expression of Uruguay infects us and envelops us in a unique mystique, we will be able to join the powerful dance of African origin brought by the black slaves more than two centuries ago. This dance that today allows the roots of a town to be kept alive , at the hands of the historic local comparsa, intensely linked to the origins of this incredible place.

An unforgettable experience if you want to know the real Uruguay and the roots of Colonia del Sacramento.

If you have never done a free tour and do not have an exact idea of ​​the payment, to help you we would like to tell you that the minimum amount is UYU 300 PER PERSON, taking into account the time and commitment that each guru dedicates to offering the best of himself.
We ask you to take this into consideration before booking, as our service is not free.

At the end of the tour we give you the chance to buy the typical colonial alfajores as a souvenir , to end your cultural and sensory experience, completely satisfied and happy!

Come to share with us the essence of candombe and drums in the Rio de la Plata.
