From Buenos Aires

A) By public transport:
Retiro Bus Terminal (we recommend Flecha Bus, Tata Rapido or Ersa companies); they depart approximately at 9:00 pm and arrive at the terminal in the city of Mercedes, Corrientes, at approximately 6:00 am.

There are two options to go to Colonia Carlos Pellegrini:
1) Bus: there are 2 companies providing this service. Both of them depart at approximately 11.30 am from the city of Mercedes
a) Rayo Bus
b) Itatí

To go back to Mercedes: both companies pick you up at 4:00 am 2) Hire a private van with capacity up to 4 people

B) By car:

You must reach the city of Mercedes, Corrientes. You must stop there to fill the petrol tank as there are no petrol stations in Pellegrini. The distance between Mercedes and Pellegrini is 120 km, 80 km of which are gravel roads; their condition is not very good. It is recommended to drive slowly at 50 or 60 Km/h. This would take around 2 hours and a half to 3 hours. This road must be done during the day.

From Posadas to Colonia Carlos Pellegrini there is a distance of 200 km of dirt road. In rainy days, 4x4 vans are needed. There are no bus regular services; private 4x4 vans must be hired (for 4 passengers). DISTANCES:
