SURROUNDINGS IN BUENOS AIRES
TIGRE

Other than the typical tours organized in the area, thematic, cultural and adventure eco-tourism stand out, with tours on different vessels across the rivers and streams of the zone, setting foot on land and going on hikes and treks to visit historic and traditional places, or forest areas ideal for fauna watching and photo safaris.

It is advisable to come near a post and appreciate the sunset on the imposing islands, where you can find the before mentioned picturesque houses.

For those visitors desiring to spend the night in the islands, there are several hotels, pubs, restaurants and recreational areas, which allow you to fully enjoying this place without time limit.

The Rio Laura Hotel, surrounded by a green wooded park, is also worth a visit; it is the oldest lodge of the delta of the Tigre (it was inaugurated in 1907), and its restaurant has a picturesque big house of English style, with a terrace protruding over the river. It has comfortable rooms, swimming pool, bar and welcoming bungalows.

Delta of the Paraná River
The delta is a very attractive place to go either on a one-day tour or to spend entire vacations. It is found relatively close to the city (at 32 kms) and has many summer houses, rowing and yachting clubs.

Tigre Fluvial Station
It is a picturesque and modern fluvial station built in an English fashion, and the gathering point for motorboats and catamarans setting out to different directions which include several ports in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. Some of the firms provide daily local transportation service and others go on scheduled tours. There is also the service of motorboat taxi, whose rates are high but they are still ideal to go on short tours in groups of four to six people. It is located on 305 Mitre Av, on the banks of the Luján River.

Deliberant Council and Municipal Cultural Centre - Former Tigre Club
This elegant and lavish edifice was built in the year 1900 by French architects Pablo Pater and Luis Dubois. It has a huge number of pergolas and balconies and can be visited for free. The building is now a Historic Monument, and is located on 972, Victoria Drive.

Paraná de Las Palmas River
It is at approximately an hour and a half distance by motorboat from the Tigre Fluvial Station, and it owes its name to the large number of palm trees that grow along its course. It is advisable to visit El Tropezón, a recreational place built in 1928 in a style adequate to this island zone. Argentine author Leopoldo Lugones, renowned for having won the National Prize of Literature in 1926, committed suicide in this place in 1938, thus moving the public opinion of that period; he is honoured with a granite monolith and a room that pretends to be a museum.

Sarmiento River
It is one of the rivers most crossed by motorboats on the delta, and is surrounded with attractive houses and sport clubs that stand on the shores of the isles and on the riverbanks. It is good idea to visit the Lyfe Park, which has an especial camping area with all possible conforts, where besides the green vegetation you can find sandy beaches. The Sarmiento Museum, a mansion built in 1855 by President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), a local from San Juan, as a summer house, is worth the visit.

Capitan River
This river is born in the confluence of the Sarmiento River and the Abra Vieja Stream, where the ashes of Argentine writer Roberto Arlt (1900-1942) were given to the wind. Further ahead it is joined by the San Antonio River, near Victoria Island, before flowing into the Paraná de Las Palmas River. It is a handsome setting where forests of willows, poplars and ceibas, along with grasslands, can be admired on the shores of the islands and isles from its banks. Besides, it has mooring piers and the traditional recreational areas, as pubs and restaurants.

San Antonio River
It is born as an arm of the Sarmiento River, in the area named Tres Bocas, crossing a residential part of the delta where restaurants alternate with lodges and the classical antiques. It is advisable to visit the complex of cabins called El Marangatu, a cluster of inns and cabins built in the Mediterranean style, which has a music bar and restaurants; hence, it is well patronized by young people.

There is an aquatic skiing school that operates on its banks, providing gear and vessels for the practice of different sports. It has a volleyball court, a football field and a swimming pool within its facilities. The Floating Bar is a typical snack bar hosted on two floating platforms, which is worth visiting not only for its gastronomy, but for the splendid vistas of the banks of the locality of San Isidro it offers. These sectors can be reached on private motorboats or taxi motorboats.

Otamendi Natural Reserve
It is located on the banks of the Paraná de Las Palmas River, in the District of Campana, and here you can watch a varied flora and fauna typical of the entire delta region. The white timbó, the laurel, the willow and the ceiba stand out amongst its flora; while the capybara (amphibious mammal), and aquatic birds such as the American coots and the white herons are abundant, with respects to the fauna. The marsh deer is a species characteristic of the zone which is serious danger of extinction.

Luján River
The urban areas borders rivers such as Tigre and San Fernando before they flow into the majestic Rio de la Plata. It is well done to visit the recreational place called Nautical Centre, where you can find ideal facilities to enjoy the day, such as grills for roasting beefs, swimming pools and even sandy gold beaches. Visitors can rent ATVs and boats if they desire to do so.

Train of the Coast
It is an interesting 15 km tour going along the Districts of Vicente Lopez, San Isidro, San Fernando and Tigre, bordering the banks of Rio de la Plata. It is the newest and most modern train in Argentina, and from its cars you can appreciate different residential areas in northern Buenos Aires, with beautiful and sometimes lavish houses built on landscapes of exceptional beauty.

City Town of Nordelta and Private Neighbourhoods
Nordelta is the first city town in Argentina, conformed by an ideal place to enjoy the river, its green and fresh air, though with all the facilities of a city: dwellings, education and health services, business centres, shopping malls, and sport and recreational installations, with the quietness and safety of a town. The enclosed neighbourhoods that form part of it are La Caleta, Portezuelo, Los Castores, La Isla, Las Glorietas, La Alameda and Barrancas del Lago.

Nordelta is located in Benavides, District of Tigre, at 30 km from the Federal Capital and within the vial corridor of the Northern Access - Pan American Route. Its fluvial access is through the Luján River, and there are quite a few nautical private neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the City Town of Nordelta.
