Mercedes (Corrientes)
Mercedes is a village in Corrientes in Argentina. It's a pretty nondescript town that strictly sticks to siesta. However, to visit Esteros del Ibera and Colonia Carlos Pellegrini it's the place to get a transport and also organise your stay and activities in Carlos Pellegrini though not necessary.
Get in
[edit]The options to get in are few. There are direct buses from Parana in the South, Corrientes in the North and Paso de los Libres (on the Buenos Aires - Puerto Iguazu line).
