How to get there
Travesía Liebig–San José 2027
Where to stay
In the nearby town of Colón and around San José, you will find a variety of options ranging from traditional 'cabañas'—small wooden or brick cottages preferred by local families—to boutique hotels overlooking the riverfront. Camping sites directly facing the beach are also widely available and popular during the summer season. Expect to pay between $50 and $120 USD per night for double occupancy in mid-range accommodations, with prices peaking slightly during the race weekend due to the influx of visitors.
Things to do nearby
The area is renowned for its thermal water resorts, which provide a relaxing recovery option after your swim. Beyond the water, you can explore the historical ruins of the Liebig industrial complex, which once processed the region's famous beef exports. For those looking to stay active, the river offers excellent opportunities for kayaking and SUP, allowing you to view the local landscape from a lower vantage point. Weekend visitors often spend their time visiting local vineyards or trekking through the nearby El Palmar National Park, home to vast forests of Yatay palms.
