The morning light picks out ochre buildings on Avenida de Mayo as the group steps into an air-conditioned van bound for the Paraná Delta. The city slips by — Plaza de Mayo’s flags, the frescoed dome of the Ateneo Grand Splendid — until the landscape opens to braided waterways and low islands where a 60‑minute boat ride threads among willows and stilted houses.
