Argentina | Road Scholar Trip Extension: Tigre and Delta del Parana Half Day Tour

The tour starts towards Tigre, a charming area located at the mouth of the Parana River Delta. The area was first colonized in 1580, but it wasn't until the end of the 19th century when it became the preferred recreation area of Buenos Aires upper classes. A regular boat-ride through the Delta allows you to see the old mansions that contrast with today's wooden houses built on stilts. You will also see some of the yacht and rowing clubs and learn about the typical traits of a community closely linked to the river. The delta comprises a number of small islands covered with abundant subtropical vegetation crossed by canals and streams that make for an ideal fresh-air environment to get in contact with nature. At the end of the tour, start heading back to Buenos Aires.
