From immigration to the boat and transportation between countries worked in our favor. As a 21st century girl it was evident some people weren't happy they did not have access to wifi on their boats as some children had tantrums from lack of IPad accessibility and some adults couldn't make phone calls but I think if anything that lack of social media checking can be used to truly reconnect with those traveling with you! Both boats we took were fairly accessible for all those who had a disability if they wished to eat on board you could as they a full little cafe with warm danishes, snacks, and drinks at your convenience!

Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay…read more.. It's a couple-hour ferry ride from BA to Colonia, and then you can continue on by bus to other areas or not. We chose not because this was meant to be a day trip and another stamp on the passport. 100% recommend if you have the time - I need to add some Uruguay locations to Yelp because it is so gorgeous there!!! It is totally giving coastal European summer vibes. NOTE: Get to the station early even if you already have tix!!! It was packed and not only do you have to get through security, but customs for interviews too. This took wayyyyyy longer than expected, so I'm glad we arrived with time to do all of this and get coffee - tho it was still a photo finish to board the ferry. The big boat was crowded but there were plenty of seats, or you can go outside with the TikTokers. There's a duty-free shop which was super crowded the entire time. Locals were stocking up on chocolates and liquor. No coffee or food service. A day trip was perfect to walk the cobblestone streets, shop, eat, and lounge on a patio for drinks while a band plays, sailboats drift by, and the town dogs sit at your feet waiting patiently for a pet or some of your food. Heading back was less crowded or stressful. Still lots of lines but the only rush was to return to the AirBnb and change for dinner. All in all, worth the cost which I think was less than $100USD pp.

This is the big hub of transportation for the trains. The building is gorgeous!!! There is also a…read moresubway station, outside the train station there are a lot of bus stops to take you wherever you need to go. There is also the rental bike stands to get a bicycle via an app. There is police coverage inside the train station, usually with their noses on the phone, so they don't see the people jumping over the machines to avoid payment.
