The best tour of Argentina, in my opinion, is not in the capital. It’s in a town called Tigre, located in the metropolitan area. The ride is beautiful and delightfully pleasant.
A lot of adjectives? No! Let me explain: first, the city of Tigre has in three blocks a huge casino, a amusement park in the region and a boat ride on the Delta del Tigre, who visits “streets” of water, which is the only way transport for rich argentine that will spend the summer in the city. As already mentioned, a very nice ride. Doubt? So here are some photos:
How to reach the Delta del Tigre?
Now that you fell in love and definitely includes the ride on your guide, it’s time to learn how to reach our destination. Leaving any part of Buenos Aires, you’ll have to catch a subway to the Retiro station. From there, you get another meter toward Maipu station, where there is a tourist train Tren de la Costa (AR$ 32 round trip) that will take you to Tigre.
The Tren de la Costa traverses the edge of the River Plate to the Delta del Tigre. You can get off the train at each station and meet the various towns and pick up and continue your journey on another train without paying anymore. The ticket is valid for the whole day. The tip is to get off at San Fernando, Olivos, and especially San Isidro.
The San Isidro is known for its mansions and tree-lined streets. The station has a food court and is best known for. There’s even a shopping mall near the station.
In Tigre, coming down to the station you will come face to face with the Trilenium Casino. Beside it is the Parque de la Costa and close to a fair fruit there. Only through these places, because it is worth spending all day in the city. If you can, book a hotel nearby to enjoy the area well.
Continuing the tour, a little farther, you will find the River Station Domingo F. Sarmiento.
There are several booths that offer tours to the River Plate. Haggle! Ask for one at a time to ride and how much it costs. Ask for a discount. Thus, you can save up to AR $ 10.
The catamaran goes through several affluent homes of the people of Argentina, who use the house as a summer resort. Tigre is the place where the sun and take Buenos Aires city is crowded, but the ride is so beautiful that it is worthwhile to do in the winter.
