Colonia del Sacramento was found by the Portuguese. The sovereignty of Colonia was switched between the Portuguese and the Spaniards eleven times. Interestingly enough, although it was a Portuguese colony, today the residents speak Spanish instead of Portuguese. Colonia was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Three decades ago the milk cart shown in the top picture was used by the farmers to deliver dairy products to the residents, but today it is inactive, of course.

Les Eclaireurs (Enlighteners or Scouts) Lighthouse at the Beagle Channel is called the "Lighthouse at the End of the World" because it is the southernmost lighthouse on earth. The lighthouse is remote-controlled and powered by solar panels.

Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina is the place where Peron Evita was buried (not shown here).
