Geography
Mercedes Partido is situated in the Undulated Pampa (Pampa Ondulada), one of the subregions of the Pampas.

It extends north of the Salado River in Buenos Aires Province, from Samborombón Bay to the northeast, to the provinces of Córdoba and Santa Fe.
Climate
As in the rest of the Undulated Pampa, Mercedes's climate is humid-temperate, characterized by:
- Four distinct seasons.
- The moderating influence on temperatures by being near to the Atlantic Ocean.
- The free circulation of Atlantic humid winds, due to the flat terrain.
