About this experience
My name is Enrique, and I am passionate about the delta of Tigre, where I have been navigating for more than 45 years now.
My knowledge of the delta encouraged me to offer this tour, which is the semi-private speedboat tour with the longest navigation time available in Tigre.
I want to share my passion for the delta with my guests and make them feel unique in an unique place, at peace with nature and its marvels.
I love receiving visitors from all over the world and share their travel experiences as well.
My guests will be pampered to get full satisfaction from the tour, my aim is to make an unforgettable day for them.
Ocasionally, the tour will be performed by the co-host, my 38-year-old son Martin, who is also an expert driver and skipper and has a deep knowledge of the delta and its peoples.
