Tigre: La Delta del Río Paraná
August 20, 2007
The town of Tigre is about a 45-minute rickety train ride north of Buenos Aires along the Río de la Plata. It sits on the edge of the Tigre delta where the Río Paraná spills into the estuary of the Río de la Plata. It's a very pretty town, but many people live in the delta itself, where every house has a little dock with a boat, since the many delta channels are basically the only means of transportation. It makes for a nice day trip from the city.
