Expat Haven: Riverside Tour of Mercedes, Uruguay - International Living
Get your free report on Uruguay here:
The small city of Mercedes is jewel that remains hidden away in Uruguay's interior...about 3.5 hours from the international airport in Montevideo.
While most of Uruguay is famous for its wide beaches on the Atlantic Ocean, Mercedes—sitting on the banks of the Rio Negro—enjoys one of the country's nicest riverfront settings.
The waterfront here is all parkland, including a number of small, sandy beaches. You'll also find one of Uruguay's signature rowing clubs, a great waterside restaurant, and plenty of space to relax and spend the day.
Two wide, parallel, riverfront roadways—called a Rambla in Uruguay—run between the first homes and the river. In the evenings, the road closest to the water fills with antique cars and motorcycles, cruising up and down its length as if it were a parade.
While Mercedes has a beautiful town square, I find that in the summertime months, it's the waterfront that's the real social center of the city.
Mercedes has low crime, abundant fresh water, and pure air...along with a constant and plentiful renewable electricity supply. And it's located in a country with a moderate climate, stable government, and a solid-yet-confidential banking system.
It's no wonder that it's drawing the attention of an increasing number of expats.

THINK Global School travels to Uruguay
An excursion at THINK Global School could be a gaucho fair visit, an opera at the Teatro Colón, a rock climbing gym session, or even a boat ride over the Rio de la Plata to Uruguay.
In October 2012, students and staff took the hour-long ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay for two days of experiences. Whether we were visiting an archeological site or the President's country property, everyone got an eye and nose full of nature. The town of Colonia offered beautiful sunset views over the distant city of Buenos Aires and cobblestoned streets for some bumpy bike rides.
