Argentina’s Entre Ríosprovince is north of Buenos Aires and bordered
by the Paraná River to the west and the Uruguay River to the east.
Between those waterways is a fertile plain that’s home to sprawling
farms and cattle ranches, as well as a number of countryside com-
munities that provide an idyllic escape from big city life.
What to do:
Settle in for some serious rest and recreation.
Horseback riding, golf, and fishing for dorado, a regional favorite that
grows to impressive size here, are all options. Relatively new to
the local relaxation scene, though, are various hot springs resorts,
where visitors can soak away their troubles.
Where to do it:
The Uruguay River — and the towns along its
bank — is the focal point for nearly all activities. If you want to go after
some of those dorado, find an outfitter in Concordia. Both Federación
and Colón are known for their hot springs parks that feature multiple
pools with mineral-rich water that flows as hot as 109°F.
Why go now:
The fishing is good almost year-round, but peak sea-
son runs to mid-May, and what better time to enjoy the hot springs
than when the weather starts to cool during the South American
autumn.
Insider’s tip:
To add a dash of urban flair to your bucolic vacation,
head to Concordia. Its main plaza, 25 de Mayo Square, is surrounded
by museums, government offices, and lively restaurants and bars.
