History
Puerto de Frutos grew from mid‑20th century fruit landings for Buenos Aires, while Tigre’s grand social clubs reflect a late‑19th/early‑20th century recreational boom.
Conservation
The upper delta is sensitive to boat wake and pollution; favor operators who minimize speed in shallow channels, avoid littering and support local vendors.
