How to Get There
Gualeguaychú may be accessed from several locations within the country through National Routes 12, 14 and 136. From Uruguay, this city is reached through the Libertador San Martín International Bridge, which joins Gualeguaychú with the district of Fray Bentos, in the neighboring country.
Buses from Flecha Bus, Nuevo Expreso and Ciudad de Gualeguay leave every hour and a half from the Retiro Bus Station, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires everyday. They reach destination in approximately three hours. We recommend that you buy the ticket in advance, especially during the carnival season.
