The entire old town of Colonia is surrounded by stone bulwarks due to its early unsettled history, and much of the stone work remains, especially along the water.
For a better view, we figured we’d climb up to the top of the lighthouse.
Well, it’s not like we snuck up, for a small fee anyone can make the climb.
A tiny spiral staircase, with many head thumping hazards, led us to a fantastic overview of the entire area. We could even see all the way back to Buenos Aires, through what looked to be not so buenos air.
