Estancia La Sirena

Surrounded by rolling open country 15km upriver from Mercedes, this estancia is one of Uruguay’s oldest and most welcoming. The spacious 1830 ranch house, with its cozy parlor and fireplaces and end-of-the-road setting, makes a perfect base for relaxation, late-afternoon conversation under the eucalyptus trees, stargazing and horseback excursions to the nearby Río Negro. Homemade meals are included in rates.
