Best Side Trip
The Delta is a limitless source of untouched nature. You’ll be astonished by the verdant green tranquillity of this natural escape, just 45 minutes north of the city of Buenos Aires. We strongly recommend you to sail the Paraná River while you come to know the islands that make up the 5th largest delta in the world.
The Paraná is South America's second longest river, after the Amazon. It originates in southeastern Brazil at Paraíba and Grande Rivers, flows 1,600 miles (2,570 km) through Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and when it joins the Uruguay River to form Río de la Plata estuary, the delta region is known as Tigre.
The Paraná River delta is a 14,000 square kilometre area where thousands of islands and inlets, water channels, rivers and backwaters form a sub-tropical wonderland about twenty miles northeast of Buenos Aires. Many “porteños” choose this popular destination for a day outing or a weekend getaway.

Attractions along the Parana River and the Tigre Delta include fine examples of colonial architecture, wooden bridges, green islands, inlets, boat tours, places to stay and eat, and additional recreational activities.
Tigre is a pretty little town where from the main station, the Estación Fluvial, you can wander about the town, get a boat ride or enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants. Tigre is still an important timber processing port. The “Puerto de Frutos” (fruit port) is now a crafts fair located in the old fruit market by the riverside. The Naval Museum is also nearby. Antiques shops, riverside restaurants and pubs, the casino and Parque de la Costa, an amusement park and its renowned natural beauty make Tigre a popular tourist destination throughout the year.
If you are looking for new sensations and experiences, this visit is ideal for you. Sail the channels surrounded by green vegetation and beautiful landscapes. After sailing an hour and a half you will arrive at an exclusive lodge where you will taste typical dishes and engage in outdoor activities.
For locals and tourists alike, vintage mahogany commuter launches and motorboats are the favourite way to travel through its web of inter-connecting rivers and streams. English-style rowing clubs, countless marinas, humble dwellings and elegant mansions from the “Belle Époque”, such as the Tigre Club, are to be seen, as well as small pensions and upscale lodges, restaurants, teahouses and simple picnic sites.
If you visit the Delta, the restaurant that we strongly recommend you to visit and have lunch on a sunny day is called Gato Blanco . If you are want to visit a Spa 20 minutes away from Tigre Station, we suggest Delta Eco Spa relax resort where organic and delicious food is served.
You can rent a canoe or a kayak and paddle yourself around. You can take a guided tour of some of the channels or you can take a several days cruise on a motor or sailboat to really relax and see the delta. You can amend the tour and program anyway you wish.
