Tigre Delta & River Cruise
Your transition from the bustling urban atmosphere into tranquility begins with a short drive along Del Libertador Avenue. Narrow roads lead through upscale neighborhoods with luxury homes and yacht clubs.
A visit will be made to the French-built neogothic San Isidro Cathedral. Built-in the 19th century at an imposing 233 feet, it’s reminiscent of a Harry Potter set.
A short hop later, you’ll arrive at the island town of Tigre, named by the British after the jaguars that roamed there during the 1800s. Among the many regional riverboats, your guide will navigate your vessel through a complex series of channels leading to remote islands that have recently become fashionable destinations.
For more than 100 years, rich bohemians from Buenos Aires traveled the same green labyrinth of streams to spend their weekends away from the Buenos Aires crowds. The Victorian docks, boating clubs, and English gardens will show you that little has changed since the 1920s. Enjoy the boat’s easy glide across the water as you view the historic shoreline.

Buenos Aires, the vibrant political and cultural capital of Argentina, has become an enticing destination for many travelers and a must-see destination in South America. Founded in the sixteenth century by Spanish explorers, Buenos Aires has since developed its own unique flair. Hints of Buenos Aires’s colonial origins can be found in the Plaza de Mayo city center, including the Cabildo, the Spanish colonial town hall turned museum, and Casa Rosada, the iconic governmental building. This bright pink palace was once the site for Eva Peron’s political speeches, immortalized in Broadway’s Evita, and is a favorite landmark for photographs. In contrast, La Boca’s famous Caminito street museum bursts with brilliant hues of blue, red, green, and yellow and is a haven for local Argentine artists, chefs, and dancers. Buenos Aires abounds with art, beauty, and romance. The luxurious Teatro Colón opera house rivals those in Paris and London, while El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore, housed in an old cinema theater, is a book-lover’s paradise. Stop by the Café Tortoni to delight in fresh coffee and churros or listen to live tango and jazz performances. Browse eclectic and traditional antiques in Plaza Dorrego’s San Telmo fair. Marvel at the city’s Floralis Genérica sculpture, whose massive aluminum and steel petals open or close in response to sunlight and wind. Buenos Aires’s stunning blend of colonial, European, and modern architecture, gastronomy, and attractions will enthrall you at every turn! |
