Tigre Delta
Ideal: Ideal for boat tours, nature, markets, day trips, and a different experience outside Buenos Aires.
Tigre Delta is the delta system formed by the Paraná River north of Buenos Aires — a unique city escape of channels, islands, wooden houses, and life on the water. There are no cars in the delta; travel is by boat and canoe. Markets, art galleries, restaurants, and nature walks all coexist in this waterborne community. Reached easily by train and boat from Buenos Aires, Tigre is one of the capital's most popular day-trip escapes.
