Swap the tourist launch for a neighborhood walk and a six-course asado on a Tigre island. This day combines a scenic boat ride, local trails, and a communal grill experience complete with paired Argentine wines.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the launch into a slow, bright waterway and the river breathes cool salt and smoke across your face. The small boat slips past reed-fringed islets, and on the island paths the neighborhood dogs take notice before you do. This experience threads a classic Tigre boat ride with a guided walk through island lanes to a family barbecue room where a six-course Argentine asado is prepared slowly over wood and charcoal.

History
Tigre developed as a leisure and river-port district for Buenos Aires residents in the late 19th century; the island neighborhoods retain working-river traditions tied to the Paraná Delta.
Conservation
The delta is an active lab of sediment and habitat—stick to paths, minimize single-use plastics, and support small local operators to help preserve community livelihoods and waterways.
