Departure from the hotel to Tigre, driving through Buenos Aires vibrant suburbs, such as Olivos, home of the President’s residence, San Isidro, known for its neo-gothic-style Cathedral, artisanal fairs, and cobblestone streets. Tigre is a charming picturesque neighborhood north of the city situated in the Paraná River delta -although colonized in 1580- it was not until the 18th century that people settled in the area. The first inhabitants were smugglers trading illegal goods who took advantage of the many labyrinths of little rivers and isles to hide, evading paying customs taxes. Towards the end of the 19th century, it became a favorite destination for recreation of the high-class of Buenos Aires. The tour includes navigating different rivers, channels, and streams of the Delta, discovering its many isles covered with abundant subtropical vegetation, picturesque houses, rowing and yacht clubs, old residences, and wooden houses built over piles to protect them from constant floods. This makes an ideal day to relax and be in touch with nature, much contrasting with the fast-paced city.
