Introducing Mercedes
The main access point for the spectacular Esteros del Iberá wetlands, Mercedes is a handsome gaucho town with a mighty easy pace to life. Its claim to fame is the nearby –and utterly surreal – roadside shrine to the gaucho Antonio Gil, an enormously popular religious phenomenon, located 9km west of town.

The information office at the bus terminal is irregularly attended but has tourist information. The town’s HI hostel also runs a helpful information booth (9-11am & 3:30-7pm) here. If they’re not there, head to the hostel itself.
There are several telephone and internet places near the plaza, and various banks with ATMs.
