Cruise through the labyrinthine canals of the Tigre River delta, admiring the unspoiled natural beauty and unexpected British-style homes that dot the shoreline.


After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a leisurely drive through some of the most characteristic neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. Along the way, you will pass stately mansions, soaring high-rises and waterfront homes before arriving at San Isidro Cathedral.


While pausing for exterior photos, you will notice its distinct neo-Gothic architecture, most notably its clock tower, which rises more than 225 feet into the air. Considered one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Argentina, it has been declared a National Historic Site. If there is time for an interior visit, you will see the cathedral’s cross-shaped design even more clearly.


Continuing north, you will soon arrive at the Tigre River, which is named for the “tigres” or jaguars that once roamed here. The river delta is one of the world’s largest and is laced with canals that form a network of forested islands.


As you cruise through the green wonderland, you will notice that many of the riverside homes have a British flair. There are mock Tudors, Victorian mansions and even British-style gardens that reflect England’s influence and ties with Buenos Aires.


The Tigre River delta is still a popular weekend getaway for affluent locals, and you will understand why after taking in the natural beauty up close on a river cruise. Afterwards, you will retrace your route back to the pier in Buenos Aires.
