Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Kick off your day with a 9 AM pickup, then head straight to the city’s port where a sleek, first-class motor launch awaits. Hop aboard and set sail on a 1.5-hour adventure across the Río de la Plata! Sit back, relax, and take in the stunning views of Buenos Aires’ skyline, its lush northern neighborhoods, and the winding waterways of the Tigre Delta—all while sipping on refreshing drinks and enjoying the ride.

Stop 2
If you’ve chosen this tasty option, get ready to enjoy a delicious snack at Vivanco Restaurant, where you’ll try some freshly made, hand-crafted empanadas. Tucked inside one of Tigre’s iconic rowing clubs, Vivanco offers a warm, sensory experience in a setting that’s fresh, friendly, and full of charm—perfect for relaxing and savoring the local flavor!

Stop 3
Next stop: the charming Puerto de Frutos! This lively little pier sits along the banks of the Luján River in the heart of Tigre. Back in the mid-20th century, it was the go-to spot for unloading fresh fruit from the Paraná Delta, which was then whisked off to Buenos Aires. Today, it's a vibrant marketplace where history meets local flavor—perfect for a stroll, some shopping, and soaking up the riverside vibes.

Take a leisurely stroll down Victorica Avenue, a scenic riverside promenade that hugs the banks of the Luján River. Along the way, enjoy the views, feel the breeze, and make your way toward the elegant gardens that frame two local gems: the Tigre Deliberative Council and the stunning Tigre Art Museum. It’s beauty, culture, and charm—all in one picturesque walk!

Stop 5
Pass by
Back in 1909, a group of locals got together with a grand idea: to create a club where the community could come together to play sports, relax, and have a good time. But they didn’t stop there—they added a touch of European flair by including a stylish casino, making it the ultimate hotspot for fun and leisure in Tigre!
