Top 10 Day Trips from in Tigre, Central Argentina

November 26, 2021 Timmy Ribble

Day-trip distance from Buenos Aires, the Tigre River Delta offers porteños (Buenos Aires residents) and tourists alike a playground for everything from horseback riding and hiking to fishing and swimming. Comprised of hundreds of tiny islands, the Tigre is about 20 miles northeast of Buenos Aires and is reachable from the city by trains, then by boat from the train station. While the main attraction here is the delta itself (formed where five rivers come together), you’ll also find a Naval Museum, restaurants and playgrounds for kids. Several tour companies offer day-trip excursions to the Tigre River Delta—but visitors also can book stays in area bed & breakfasts and adventure lodges.

We had the luxury of being in Buenos Aires for 2 days. We toured with Andres the first day and Brenda the second day. Both were excellent and I would highly recommend them! Very knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

Back in January I traveled with my family to Buenos Aires, we hired Argentina Elite Transfers and tours, based on the reviews and the good prices, we were pleasantly surprised with the driver, Patrice, fluent in 3 languages and very professional. The car was spotless, with refrigerator available for drinks. We did call him again during the stay to move around the city, we felt safe the whole time. We are planning to come back when things go back to normal, he recommended the Delta tour so that is on our bucket list!

Contact person at airport as arranged, but there was no driver. And still no driver. We waited about an hour. Finally a driver. We paid to be picked up, not hang around the airport after a 12 hour flight. If this how they do business, find an alternative.

In this tour you will discover the outskirts of Buenos Aires. You will learn about a completely different way of living. There are no roads or bridges that connect the islands to the mainland. It is a place where citizens visit during the weekends or for short vacations. The lifestyle of the people who live on these islands is completely different from the ones who live in the city. The Delta of Tigre is special for those who want to disconnect themselves from the busy and noisy Buenos Aires city.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, private guide

Exclusions: Lunch

We chose Patrick for his rave reviews and we were not disappointed. Patrick picked us up at the ship after our cruise (6 of us with lots of luggage) . A spacious van awaited us with our private driver who stayed with our luggage when we stopped to sight see with Patrick. Patrick knows Buenos Aires and treated us royally. The best fun was when he found a small out of the way restaurant in La Boca called El Gran Paraiso for lunch. Talk about local flavor....the wine was awesome. We had steak and sausage cooked on the grill... the best steak I've ever had. Patrick took us to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Our cruise ended March 7, 2020 just as the Coronavirus was heating up and Patrick had many future cancellations. We hope that he's doing well and that people will once again begin to travel. If you get to Buenos Aires, you must call Patrick - in fact get him in advance because he's a rare find! Great job Patrick...thanks for the wonderful day and hope you're well!
