The bow nudges away from the marina as gulls argue over the wake, and the engine drops to a hush. A 26-foot sailboat bears four people into the braided channels of the Luján River and out toward the broad Río de la Plata; when the sails are up and the motor off, the river takes the conversation.

History
The Paraná Delta formed through millennia of sediment deposition; by the late 19th century the riverside towns around Tigre and San Fernando became weekend retreats for Buenos Aires residents.
Conservation
The delta is ecologically sensitive—avoid tossing waste overboard, keep noise to a minimum near nests, and use biodegradable sunscreen to limit chemical runoff.
