Ferry crossing to Uruguay across Rio de la Plata

The fast ferry leaves the Buenos Aires dock and crosses the broad, brown-toned Rio de la Plata. As the shore disappears and the horizon of water widens, you head toward Uruguay. The crossing is more than simple transport: it is a short journey between two countries.

Carry your passport or ID, as border formalities may apply. The open deck can be windy, so a thin jacket helps. The Buenos Aires skyline makes a good picture as you pull away from the shore.
