- We're off to a new country: Uruguay! In this episode, we'll take Buquebus ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento. This is just a short ferry crossing across the River Plate that takes about an hour. Colonia is a popular day trip from Buenos Aires, but if you have a bit more time, it's nice to spend a few days enjoying this charming town. We'll talk about costs, show you what the ferry crossing is like, and once we get settled into our apartment in Colonia, we'll take you out for our first Uruguayan barbecue.
If you are thinking of going from Argentina to Uruguay taking the Buquebus ferry is your best option. You can take the shorter crossing of Buenos Aires to Colonia; however, you also have the option of doing the longer crossing to Montevideo. Alternatively there is an overland crossing by bus which you can take at night if you're looking to save on accommodations for the evening. I did that over 10 years ago; however, given the choice we'd go with the ferry. We were all feeling really excited to be in Uruguay together and to go out for one of our first of many Uruguayan bbq (also known as Uruguayan asado). We're looking forward to sharing more travel videos from Uruguay soon.

Uruguay, the diminutive nation mostly bordered by Argentina, is sometimes overlooked by visitors to South America. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in location, easy access, and a wealth of culture, art, food and drink, including its iconic wine, Tannat.
It is an underrated country to visit with lots to offer visitors.
Nothing diminutive about their football though!
The adjective shouldn’t be diminutive, it’s the wrong one, you should’ve wrote “minuscule”, the adjective is wrongly employed in that sentence.
I love that Sam did not let US down with the steak. How selfless;) Enjoyed being introduced to Uruguay! 🥩 🍷
Thank you so much Kim! We're excited to share our videos from Uruguay.
So there is a second part. Im hopping to see a couple of videos of Uruguay please.
THanks Ivan! Those will be coming out soon.

Soy de Uruguay. Me encantan sus videos. No sé si este video es nuevo o no. Pero cuando se pueda no pueden dejar de visitar: Cabo Polonio, la Paloma, Punta del Este, Piriápolis, Atlántida y Montevideo
Muchas gracias Andrea! Gracias por las excelentes sugerencias. Nos encantó visitar Uruguay. - Samuel
Yo también, me sumo a las recomendaciones, y agrego que en el norte tenemos aguas termales (Salto y Paysandú), paisajes espectaculares y mucha historia. Así como tampoco nos podemos olvidar de las sierras de Minas. Un abrazo, hermoso vídeo 👏👏👏👏😘🇺🇾
There was a recognized chef, Christophe Krywonis, saying our meat is much better. So do other people. I'm from Uruguay, hope you enjoyed!
THanks! We had some amazing meals while traveling in Uruguay.
It is not easy for a couple to travel long hours together. Once the body is tired, there are many times when we can't take care of each other well, and we get irritated or fight often because we become sensitive, but it's envious to see the way you guys always travel happily.
Thank you! Oh, we do have our moments off camera for sure. I think sometimes you just need some days off to recuperate.
Hahah the old mans expressions are the best
Im from colonia del sacramento, and i am SO proud that you guys decided to come here and not to montevideo, huge support 👌
Thank you! We had such a great time in Colonia!
yta abrio el buquebus para argentinos? me queria mudar a colonia :(
@@TheWalkingNomadTours this is an old video
Hi Guys,
Oh I so will enjoy 😉 every moment of it.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Michael! Excited to get this Uruguay series underway.
Love that you love the animals!!
After our own hearts!!
And....Steak as well. You’re making our mouths water! Wish we had been there with you.
Great photography-you really captured the town
Woof woof to Togo
Thank you so much Terese! A woof from Togo to you!
Uruguay is such a beautiful place. When I was there I toured a neighbourhood in Punta Del Este referred to by locals as 'Beverly Hills', or it could've been in Monte Video. Anyway, the huge estates were magnificent and the cab driver said it's where at lot of the IMF money loaned to Argentina ended up. One thing I noticed is the people in Uruguay and Argentina seem to have a very sophisticated understanding of how their politicians are ripping them off, even cab drivers!
That is a really interesting story. Yeah, we've noticed that as well. The awareness of corruption is very commonplace.
Thanks for making this video. I'm from Colonia and proud of my town. It's beautiful. Now I'm living in Montevideo and I really miss there. I hope you come back....
Thanks Liliana! We really enjoyed visiting both Colonia and Montevideo.
Nice video, I like it!!! Amazing trip to Uruguay!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Marcela! We're excited to get new episodes out soon.

Colonia is so lovely, and there's a long beach 2km away from the city, I love it.

Cant' wait to see your Uruguayan experiences!
Thanks so much Brenda! We're really excited about this series.

The food in South America looks fantastic and they give you large amounts....great video
Thank you very much Effie! The portion are indeed very generous!
The country sounds amazing, can't wait to see the adventure. Always great to see a juicy steak!
Thank you very much! We'll have more steak videos soon.
Great another video of your trip through South America, you guys do an excellent job and I look forward to see when you arrived to Chile and visited Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine.

Hi Sam, Audrey: Love to see you again. Hope you have fun. Love your sweater. Would love to buy one like that. God bless. Awesome to see you having fun. Argentina is beautiful. I remember. Coman Churasco para nosotros.
Thank you very much! Oh, those sweaters are nice and you can find them at most outdoor markets down here.
I live in Montevideo, Uruguay... It's a good time to be here.
Thanks Mahesh!
No crazy lockdowns, no closed restaurants, right? Just checking. If so, I'll seriously consider moving there :D
Wow, What a food.
Thanks Gerard! It was a great first introduction to Uruguay.
Wow, ten years ago or even more I also took a Buquebus 😃 but from Buenos Aires to Montevideo (3-hour journey). I did not know that it was such a short trip to Colonia. Be waiting for the videos of Colonia as I did not visit this city (so far, the food seemed delicious).
Thanks Bruno! That is really cool to hear. At the end of our time in Uruguay we took the Buquebus back from Montevideo. Oh, we ate so well on this trip. Excited to share those episodes soon.
Real nice video! Love those big meat portions my mouth is drooling !! haha
Thanks Peter! They certainly don't skimp out!
Mi país. Bienvenidos 🙂
Gracias!! 😊
En la próxima tienen que venir al norte, al departamento de Tacuarembó, aquí se celebrala la fiesta de la Patria Gaucha, es una reunión de varias organizaciones de distintas partes del país donde muestran cómo se vivía antes y en los comienzos de la República Oriental del Uruguay. Bienvenidos.
Este mismo video lo grabaron en Español, por un momento pensé que era un Deja vu jajajajajaja
Jajajaja....gracias!
That happened to me too!!! I thought to myself I have already seen this... At first, I didn´t realize that this was the English version... funny!!!

Good story Sam reminds me of the time I took a bus from Phnom Penh to siem reap 12 hellish hours over bumpy roads. I said hell no I don’t want to do that return trip and paid extra for a plane.
Interesting to hear! I did that route as well over 15 years ago before the road got fixed. Wow, that was sure bumpy.
Greetings from Boston, Ma. USA First time watching. Love what you're doing. How is covid there
Thank you! We're having higher cases in the Toronto area than the rest of Canada but doing down as of late. How about you?
Welcome to colonia, no speak english , but thanks for visit my country and city
Thanks! 😃We had a great time visiting!
¡Son bienvenidos cuando lo deseen!. Espero que hayan disfrutado su estadía el tiempo que estuvieron aquí.
Si un día se les ocurre visitar Montevideo, hay muchos parques y lugares, que pueden recorrer.
Por cierto, ¿él papá de Audrey es Uruguayo o Argentino?. Ambos hablan muy bien el idioma español.
¡Saludos y bendiciones!
Muchas gracias!
El papá de Audrey es de Argentina
YO NO CONOSCO COLONIA PORQUE VIVO EN MONTEVIDEO CONOSI POR USTEDES CUANDO NOS MOSTRARON LA OTRA VES GRACIAS ES COMO SI VIAJARA CON USTEDES YA QUE YO NO SOY DE VIAJAR LOS VEO Y ME ENCANTA QUE ELIGIERAN NUESTRO PAIS PARA VISITARNOS MUCHOS SALUDOS URUGUAY
Muchas gracias Gladis!
I'm going to Oaxaca, Mexico next week. Oaxaca is often said to have the best food in Mexico. But watching y'all eat beef down there makes me know eventually I'm heading south.
Really exciting to hear Kenneth! Let us know how it goes.
Far... far south!!! he he
Hola, la próxima vez que vengan están invitados a comer un asado de cordero, en mi casa, en el campo! Samuel que se prepare tiene que jinetear un potro!! 😂 Al estilo Uruguayo, a puro poncho y rodaja!! 😅✋🇺🇾
MUCHAS gracias Javier! Woah!
Hey you Two. I miss your videos, is everything ok with you? Hope you and your Families are healthy. Please give us another video from Argentina / Uruguay!!
Hey Johannes! Thanks so much for checking in. We'll have another video tomorrow. How are you doing? Weekend plans?
As someone who has not gotten to travel out of North America, I love your videos and the appreciation and desire I now have to visit Argentina and Uruguay. As someone who only speaks English and only understands the smallest amounts of the Spanish language, do you think it would be difficult to visit there outside of a planned tour guide type trip?
Thanks Asil! In terms of language it would be good to become familiar with basic greetings, numbers and requests (for exchanging money or asking where is the bathroom, etc)
Good morning :)
Wow, just an hour in another country Uruguay love love both countries. Take me along to your business class trip swell :)
Yesssss i heard about Argentinenian steak hope you do find nice steak house in Uruguay!!!
Thank you very much Maria! Excited for our time in Uruguay.
I guess they did. A couple of years ago, I told an American man who was visiting Chile-Argentina-Uruguay to visit Mercado del Puerto in Montevideo, Uruguay. He loved the meat so much there, that the following year he went again, just to eat asado, as he told me later on.
Lol Sam seems sauced when he’s talking about the Collies.
Maybe Sam feels a bit displaced.
haha
Holaaaaa queridos hermanos argentinos, quería decirles que la bandera de Uruguay es así y no cómo está en la foto del video 🇺🇾. El video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Saludos

Hey Luciana! Great to hear. We loved visiting your city.
@@samuelandaudrey thanks!
Puddle might be appropriate considering how shallow it is, with a maximum depth of about 14m.
If you come someday to Salto would be nice to meet you guys and help in anything
Ah, thank you Sawira! Would love to visit someday!
El asado sí, al potro lo dejamos por las dudas!! 😂✋
:)
Vayan a piriapolis! Visiten los balnearios de la costa atlántica

Buenos Aires, always reminds me of the one time I had to run from an angry taxi driver 😁
Interesting!
@@samuelandaudrey Haha, yes it was.
Me interesa saber cuándo hicieron este viaje? Ahora? Porque no veo a nadie usar barbijos y se me hace raro.
Lo filmamos a finales de 2019. Muchas gracias - Samuel
Gracias por escribir!!
That dog's we calling Shotland ovchark /Scotland Shepherd/
Oh, that is cool to hear! Beautiful dogs!
First, let me say that I have watched almost everyone of your videos and absolutely love them. I would like to book a Buquebus ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia de Sacramento on December 20 and then return three days later. I’ve tried their website but it seems like from the United States it is not allowing me to get to the booking point where I can pay. Do you have a website or any other suggestions on how I can pre-book these ahead of time. On the other option in December will there be plenty of open space to book my travel or2 do I have to really be concerned about not getting there? Thanking in advance for you your help. Robert
Hi Robert, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the website! We bought our tickets online (in Canada) to travel there, but then for the return journey, we just bought the tickets at the ferry terminal (before boarding to Uruguay in Buenos Aires). If you're planning to be in Buenos Aires ahead of time, you could swing by the terminal and book in person. Hopefully, it's just a glitch and the website lets you book!
I want to leave too, how have you been able to cross? wasn't it closed because of corona?
This trip was right before the pandemic!
Awwwwww so pretty bhebhe fur sooo hairy my black lab would love to play with you haha 😘🐾🐾
Wow GRAND spread of food yum!!!
Thank you Maria! We meet the best dog friends on this trip.
@@samuelandaudreyAlways nice feeling to see baby fur :)
👍
Thanks Abraham!
My mom was from Uruguay ❤
You guys were traveling there in 2019 right? And you already posted videos of Uruguay. It's confusing me now that these videos are being reposted?
YES - it would be VERY HELPFUL Sam & Audrey if you state when this trip was actually taken - very confusing with all that's going on with COVID, etc. - thanks....
Hi Victoria, yes this was our 2019-2020 trip before the pandemic. We have already posted the Spanish version of these videos on our other channel, which is why they probably look familiar.
@@samuelandaudrey Aaah, that explains it. Thanks.
Beautiful country and culture. I would skimp on food for a year to save up for all those luscious ingested calories.💖💝
Thanks Daphne! Hehehe...I know what you mean! We really had to watch what we ate after this trip.
Canadian bacon eeeehhhhhhhh 🥓🧢🦝
