What you can expect

Begin your journey in Colonia del Sacramento and take a public bus to Colonia Suiza, the birthplace of immigration in Uruguay. Meet Laura Honegger, dressed in traditional Swiss attire, at the city’s entrance.

Discover a town that feels like the Swiss Alps or the German countryside, but in the heart of Uruguay’s agricultural region. Learn about the first tourist hotels and agricultural machines in the country.

Visit Laura’s home and hear the storey of one of the first Swiss families to arrive in Uruguay. Discover the secrets of a cheese recipe passed down through generations since the mid-1800s.

Taste heart-shaped cheese, camembert, and brie, and immerse yourself in a unique cultural and gastronomic experience. After the tasting, have the option to purchase products before Laura accompanies you back to the bus for your return to Colonia del Sacramento.
