Introducing Tigre & the Delta
The city of Tigre (35km north of BA) and her surrounding delta region is one of the most popular weekend getaways for weary porteños. The city itself has a few pleasant attractions, but it’s really the delta just beyond Tigre that everyone’s after. Latte-colored waters – rich with iron from the jungle streams flowing from inland South America – will hardly remind you of a blue paradise, but there are hidden gems in this marshy region. Boat rides into the delta offer peeks at local stilt houses and colonial mansions, and you can explore along some peaceful trails. Many lodgings are located throughout the region, making getaways complete. All along the shorelines are signs of water-related activity, from kayaking to wakeboarding, canoeing to sculling.
