Things To Do
in Monte Caseros

Golden-hour river views, fishing boats and local life make the costanera ideal for landscape and street photography.

Classic town square scenes, municipal buildings and the local church provide architectural and candid-photo opportunities.

Expansive farmland, grazing cattle, and gauchos on horseback offer authentic rural imagery—best in early morning or late afternoon light.

Low water exposes sandbars and creates reflective surfaces for dramatic nature photos, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Argentinian barbecue—various beef cuts and offal cooked on a parrilla or open fire; best at local parrillas and family-run restaurants.

Must-Try!

Freshwater fish prepared grilled, in stews or milanesas; inquire locally for the day's catch at riverside restaurants or markets.

Local style empanadas often filled with beef and seasonings; available at bakeries, cafés and street stalls.

A cheese-and-starch bread (cassava or corn flour) popular in Corrientes and neighboring provinces; sold at bakeries and food markets.

The municipal market or weekend feria offers fresh produce, river fish, cheeses, baked goods and local snacks—try choripán, empanadas and chipá from stalls.

Seasonal stalls along the riverfront serve grilled snacks, ice cream and quick bites—good for tasting local flavors while enjoying the view.

People commonly greet with a handshake or one cheek kiss among friends and acquaintances; it’s polite to greet shopkeepers and hosts on arrival.

Mate is a shared cultural beverage—if invited, accept respectfully and remember not to stir or slurp loudly; follow the host’s cues when drinking.

Social events and dinners often start later than in some countries; casual lateness is common among friends, but be punctual for formal appointments.

When visiting churches or religious events, dress modestly and speak quietly as a sign of respect.

Tipping is appreciated but not always mandatory: around 10% in restaurants if service is good, small change or rounding up for cafés and taxi drivers, and a modest tip for guides or hotel porters.

Cash (Argentine pesos) is commonly used, especially for small purchases, markets and taxis. Credit/debit cards are accepted at larger businesses but connectivity can be inconsistent; carry some cash and verify ATM availability before travel.
