Montevideo, the modern capital of Uruguay turned o Montevideo, the modern capital of Uruguay turned out to be a great travel destination even now, during the winter and low season. Compared to Buenos Aires and the Brazilian metropolises that we visited earlier, Montevideo is small, clean and organized, but it still has a vibrant feel of a large capital city.We stayed for a three days and explored both the historical quarters and the more modern neighborhoods, and roamed around parks and along the popular Rambla, an avenue that runs along the shore of the estuary of Río de la Plata river.A walk in the old town, Ciudad Vieja, is a must when visiting Montevideo. This historical area is home to several landmark buildings, museums, parks and narrow streets lined with old houses.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitmontevideo
The historical center of Colonia del Sacramento in The historical center of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay is charming! During the summer months this small city just one hour ferry ride from Buenos Aires gets busy, but now in the autumn / winter it was very quiet, but still very beautiful.The old town is a World Heritage site and attracts visitors s from around the world. For many it is just a day trip destination from Buenos Aires, but it's worth of staying a bit longer, as the ancient cobbled streets lined with old buildings look wonderful also after dark. Also, the sunsets are fabulous!"Founded in 1680 by the Portuguese Manuel de Lobo, the city passed from Portuguese to Spanish rule several times, until the Declaration of Independence of the Banda Oriental in 1825. These events made the Historic Center of the capital of Colonia a melting pot of architectural and urban styles, where typically Portuguese colonial styles and Spanish-style homes coexist."Sunday reel 24 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #nomadiclife #visituruguay

Whether you are a friend of books of beautiful bui Whether you are a friend of books of beautiful buildings, or both, El Ateneo Grand Splendid is a must-see in Buenos Aires!❤️This stunning book store, listed to be one of the most beautiful in the whole world, is located in a building that was designed by architects Peró and Torres Armengol and opened as a theatre called Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919.The theatre had 1 050 seats, and there was a variety of performances on the stage, including appearances by famous tango artists. In the late twenties the theatre was converted into a cinema, and in 1929 showed the first sound films presented in Argentina.The ornate former theatre was leased by Grupo Ilhsa in February 2000 and converted into a book and music shop under the direction of architect Fernando Manzone. The seats were replaced with bookshelves and on the former stage there is now a café, but he ceiling frescoes, the ornate carvings, the crimson stage curtains and many architectural details remain. Despite the changes, the building still retains the feeling of the grand theatre it once was.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitbuenosaires
The La Boca neighborhood, especially the quarters The La Boca neighborhood, especially the quarters around the Caminito street, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Buenos Aires.La Boca neighborhood originated from the construction of a port on the Rio de La Plata, and was the first home of immigrants, mainly from Spain and Italy, who came to the city to work. When they settled in La Boca, they built the famous “conventillos”, a type of collective housing, built with wood and corrugated iron, where each room was rented by a different family.These houses, today maintained and preserved as the identity of the neighborhood, were painted with leftover paint that arrived with the ships and that is why they had a varied appearance of colors.The visitors originally came to the Caminito street and surroundings to admire the colorful, historical buildings, but nowadays the area has developed to a tourist hotspot with a lot of restaurants, cafes and pubs, tango performances, souvenir shops and market areas.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitbuenosaires
Our favorite area for morning runs and sunset walk Our favorite area for morning runs and sunset walks in Buenos Aires was the charming Puerto Madero, a former port area turned into a modern neighborhood by the river 😍In 1989, the city government decided to give the disused but centrally located port area a new life. Construction works began in 1994 and turned the neglected quarters into a beautiful, modern neighborhood with residential buildings, offices, hotels, and convention centers. The old red-brick port warehouses are now home to trendy restaurants and cafés and the area is super popular with locals and tourists alike.For joggers and cyclists the area not only offers city views, but also lovely nature trails in the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur nature preserve 🌿Sunday reel 22 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #visitbuenosaires
Our adventure in South America continued from Braz Our adventure in South America continued from Brazil to Argentina, where our first destination was the bustling capital city Buenos Aires. After the hectic metropolises of Brazil, Buenos Aires seemed somehow very organized, kind of silent and very European in many ways.We first stayed in San Telmo, one of the oldest and most traditional neighborhoods of the city. Buenos Aires. San Telmo is known of well-preserved architectural heritage as well as street art, bars, restaurants, tango clubs and antique shops. It was a good starting point for sightseeing walks and getting to know this surprisingly charming city.Pics 1-2 Plaza de Mayo
