ill explain my experienc traveling from Buenos Aires Argentina to Colonia de Sacramento Uruguay.
**1. Booking the Ferry Ticket**
I purchased my ticket online via the Colonia Express website for approximately $55 USD, using my Bank of America credit card.
**2. Journey to the Ferry Terminal**
I took an Uber to the Colonia Express ferry terminal in Buenos Aires. The station was charming and pleasantly uncrowded, making the pre-departure process stress-free.
**3. Boarding Process**
At the terminal, I easily retrieved my boarding pass from an automated kiosk (see attached image). After a swift and straightforward customs procedure, I boarded the ferry without any delays.
**4. Arrival in Colonia del Sacramento**
Upon arriving in Colonia, I was surprised to find how simimple and easy to go through customs checks just my suitcasein the scanner and pass. When I inquired with a staff member about immigration procedures, they explained that all formalities were completed in Buenos Aires i was surprised how easy and simple things was what a good experience and first impression about Uruguay.
**5. Getting a Local SIM Card**
I visited the tourist information center in the airport to ask about purchasing a SIM card. The staff gave me a free Claro SIM, but it required activation, and no Claro representatives were available to assist. I then walked in the city searching for the Claro point of sale to activate it, then i found a Movistar store and purchased a prepaid SIM card It activated immediately, and I paid around $12 USD for the plan, which worked seamlessly.
first impression about Colonia its amazing peaceful and beautiful small town with nice people
