A river town and a boat ride into the delta.

Tigre and the Delta, a Slow Day — Tigre, Buenos Aires

Tigre sits about 18 km up the river from the city, where the streets give way to the delta and its channels. Take the train up, walk the riverfront along Paseo Victorica, browse the Puerto de Frutos market, and take a boat out among the islands. It makes an easy, full day away with almost no planning.

  • A boat ride into the delta
