Carmelo Guide

Carmelo Ferry Port

Built on the angle of land between the great River Plate and the smaller Arroyo de las Vacas river is the town of Carmelo in the west of Uruguay. This South American settlement, most known for the thriving wineries found on the outskirts, is proud of its heritage as the only city founded by José Gervasio Artigas; a national hero often referred to as the ‘father of Uruguayan nationhood’. Carmelo’s neatly ordered grid of streets lead from the river-facing port in the south to the more rural farmland landscapes found along Route 21 in the north. The port is found on the north-side of the Arroyo de las Vacas river, just across a distinctive crimson-coloured steel bridge that spans the waterway. The ferry terminal here is nothing more than a departure point formed by a wide section of paving that lines the river bank. Due to the uniform road network in Carmelo, travelling to the harbour is simple. Motorists can enter the city via Route 21 which connects the city-centre to the collection of towns that can be found to the north and south. A bus service also travels into Carmelo from the larger city of Colonia del Sacramento and hour away. Only one passenger service currently operates from the port. A Colonia Express line sails to the sprawling Argentinian capital of Buenos Aries that sits on the opposite bank of the River Plate. It’s a short southbound trip along the country border that leaves the harbour multiple times throughout the day.
