Introducing Carmelo
A super-mellow little town with a lush central square, Carmelo’s streets slope down to its carefully restored waterfront. From here, boats leave for the most interesting (and cheapest) of the Argentine border crossings – a two-hour ride through the delta to the Buenos Aires suburb of Tigre.

The main tourist office (2001; 19 de Abril 246) is in the Casa de Cultura. It has lots of information (some in English) and a decent city map. There are casas de cambio near Plaza Independencia.
A large park on the other side of the arroyo offers camping, swimming and a monstrous casino.
