About Colon
With its idyllic riverside setting and natural hot springs, it’s easy to see why Colon was nicknamed "Paradise City". Elegant plazas and vine-wrapped balconies give the town a timeworn charm, while rustic wineries and verdant landscapes create countryside appeal.
Things to do
Experience the exotic flora and fauna of El Palmar National Park. You can hike beneath a canopy of palm trees, ride horseback through a tropical savanna or canoe along the Uruguay River. Keep a lookout for native carpinchos, the largest living rodents in the world. After a busy day of exploring, relax on the park’s pristine beach during sunset.
Meet like-minded wine connoisseurs on a guided tour of Vulliez Sermet Bodega. Learn about the winery’s rich history and the unique harvesting and fermentation techniques as you stroll through the rolling vineyards. Stop for tastings at the rustic cellar, followed by "picadas" under the vine-covered terrace.
Revitalise your body at Termas de Colon, where you can bathe in hot springs kept at 36 degrees Celsius. Termas de Colon is surrounded by lush greenery and views of the Uruguay River, the perfect place to relax while the kids play on the waterslides.
Sit down to a sumptuous Argentinian feast at La Cosquilla del Ángel. Translating to “The Angel’s Tickle”, this romantic restaurant combines sweet and savoury flavours to create delectable dishes. Stop for ice cream at Colon’s top ice-cream parlour, Heladeria Italia.
