More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the bus in Tigre with the river in front of you and the city’s low-slung roofs behind — reeds brush the hull as the boat slips into a braided web of canals. The Paraná Delta opens like a moving map: narrow channels, mangrove-like willows and homes on stilts that seem to float when the tide lifts. The river nudges the boat forward and the guides point to workshops, wooden docks and the telltale chimneys of riverside parrillas.
