Colonia del Sacramento, on the Río de la Plata, was the first place in Uruguay named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 1995, for its historic quarter of Portuguese and Spanish origin. It is about an hour from Buenos Aires by fast ferry and about 180 km from Montevideo on Route 1.
Across the department we offer houses in the city and its surroundings, chacras (small country estates) near the river, lots and homes in country clubs and golf communities around Carmelo, and ranches: in 2025, Colonia had the most expensive farmland in the country, an average of USD 9,707 per hectare according to the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries.
