A riverside town in Uruguay's Soriano department, Mercedes is known for one of the widest promenades in the country — a broad walkway along the water that anchors its identity as a regional tourism centre. The town also serves as a commercial port and a hub for agriculture and dairy industries, with a UNESCO World Heritage site accessible in the wider region.
