Delight in the lush scenic landscapes of the Tigre Delta on this 3-hour shore excursion from Buenos Aires! In contrast to the bustle of Buenos Aires, the river delta of the Rio de la Plata provides an opportunity to see another side of Argentine life. On this popular boat ride, relax as you cruise along the delta, enjoying the green countryside and the unique waterfront community that lives there.
Shore excursion departs at 9am
Head out of the city center on board a comfortable coach and ride along Costanera Avenue, parallel to the Rio de la Plata, to the town of San Isidro and its famous Cathedral. One of the most affluent communities in greater Buenos Aires since 1871, San Isidro houses mansions inhabited by aristocratic families who evacuated the city to escape the yellow fever epidemic. You'll see its Gothic cathedral, dating back to 1706, before continuing on to Tigre.
Arriving to Tigre, board a catamaran for a 40-minute cruise through the delta. See how people live on the islands and interact with floating services: the supermarket boat, water taxi and more. See the homes built on stilts and President Sarmiento’s home and now museum. At the end of the boat ride, return to port to re-board your coach for the drive back to Buenos Aires, where you tour ends downtown.
This excursion concludes within a 15-minute taxi ride to the cruise port, so you determine the time you return to your ship in Buenos Aires. Please allow yourself ample time to enjoy the excursion and ensure your timely return to the port as this excursion is not covered by our worry-free policy.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
