Just 17 miles north of the city of Buenos Aires lies Tigre, a delta town full of tourists and residents alike. I had been to Tigre a couple times before but went again yesterday with a fun group of friends to take in the last bits of summer as Buenos Aires turns into fall. After an hour long train ride from the Buenos Aires city center, we arrived in Tigre and scoped out how to spend our day. For 55 pesos roundtrip (about $5.50), you can take a boat to many of the inlets and islands, hopping on and off as you please. Although the water in the river delta looks quite brown, it is really only brown because of the tierra and sedimientos (land and sediments). We visited Tres Boca, walked around, sat in the sun, and ended the day with some delicious Argentine ice cream. A perfect day trip and the closest one can get to being by water in Buenos Aires, Tigre is fun, calming, and beautiful.
