Colón
Colón combines beautiful river beaches, thermal complexes, and rich natural surroundings, making it one of the most visited cities in Entre Ríos. During the summer, its long stretches of sandy shores along the Uruguay River are filled with sunbathers and water sports enthusiasts. A short drive north lies the renowned El Palmar National Park, home to ancient Yatay palm trees and diverse wildlife, including capybaras and foxes. Back in the city, the local thermal baths offer year-round relaxation. Food lovers can explore artisanal breweries and restaurants serving fresh river fish and classic Argentine asado. Located on National Route 14, it is easily reachable from Buenos Aires. While summer is peak season for beachgoers, spring and autumn offer well-suited weather for exploring the national park and enjoying the hot springs without the crowds.
