Where to stay
Accommodations in Concordia range from established hotels along the waterfront to traditional 'cabañas' or small bungalows situated further inland near the thermal springs. Expect to pay between $45 and $90 USD per night, with higher demand during the summer race weekend. Many participants choose lodges that offer direct access to the riverbanks, providing a quieter base for the pre-race morning routine.
Things to do nearby
The region is defined by its thermal tourism and the sprawling citrus orchards that surround the river. Visitors often dedicate their weekend to exploring the local thermal spas or renting kayaks to traverse the quieter tributaries of the Uruguay River. For those interested in regional history, the nearby museums detail the settlement patterns of the Entre Ríos province, while the river's edge remains the primary spot for traditional mate-drinking and viewing the sunset over the water.
