Full Day Tigre & Delta with Lunch
Duration: 8 hs
Departure from the hotel northwards, passing by the residential neighborhoods and the President's residence in Olivos.
Leaving the city of Buenos Aires, your next destination will be the San Isidro district, an elegant residential area. You will visit the beautiful neo-gothic Cathedral, placed in the historic center of the city, which is surrounded by some colonial and Italian style houses, cobbled streets and its square with centenary trees. Not far from there, you will find the restored San Isidro train station, an interesting complex of restaurants, cinemas and shopping mall.
The visit continues towards Tigre, a lovely neighborhood situated in the delta of Paraná River.
The area was first colonized in 1580, but it was during the last years of the XVIII century that some people have settled down in this area. The first inhabitants were smugglers that took advantage of the little rivers and isles to hide himselves and to sneak in with goods, evading custom taxes. Finally, towards the end of the 19th century, the Buenos Aires’ high class citizens chose this place as favorite for recreation and weekends. Therefore, a sail along the Delta, will allow you to admire the old residences making contrast with the wooden houses built over piles, to beat the constant floods; you will also see some yatch and rowing clubs and get to know the typical features of a community that lives in close fellowship with the river. The delta gathers several little isles covered with abundant subtropical vegetation, crossed by channels and streams.
Lunch will take place in a typical local restaurant, and afterwards we will enjoy some time to relax in this ideal place, in touch with nature and pure air, far away from the noises of the big city.
Return to the hotel.
