Tigre Delta
Suburbs
|
This is a half-day tour (about 4 hours) through the elegant suburbs of Olivos, Martinez and San Isidro, that will show passengers the streets and avenues lined by colourful trees, and lovely houses, some from mid 19th century.
After about an hour drive, you arrive at Tigre, on the edge of the enormous delta of the Paraná river. Here you will board a typical river boat for a 60 minutes cruise along the canals and streams that thread their way among many islands.
The Paraná river starts far in the North, in Brazil, just South of the Amazon basin, and ends in this vast delta, before it flows into the river de la Plata. The vegetation in the delta is dense and many Porteños (inhabitants of Buenos Aires) have made sailing clubs and weekend homes, built on stilts because of frequent flooding. The way back to the hotel is along the Panamericana highway. |
