Day Trips from Buenos Aires
Take laid-back boat rides along the peaceful backwaters of the Río de la Plata. A nearby outdoor market and
interesting museums are pluses.
Explore this serene village and its historic buildings, and perhaps visit a nearby
estancia
(cattle ranch). If
you're lucky, you might spot a gaucho or two.
Located across the Río de la Plata in Uruguay, this pleasant little colonial gem is lined with cobbled streets
and charming old buildings.
Tigre & the Delta
Explore
Only an hour's drive from BA, tranquil Tigre and its huge river delta make a popular week-
end getaway for cement-weary
porteños.
And while Tigre itself is a pleasant enough river-
side town, it's really the swampy waterways that everyone is after. Latte-colored waters -
rich with iron from the jungle streams flowing from inland Argentina - alongside reedy
shores are far from any stereotypical paradise, but there are a few surprises here. Boat rides
into the delta offer peeks at local houses and colonial mansions, or you can just get off and
explore some nature trails. All along the shores are signs of water-related activity, from
sailing, kayaking and canoeing to sculling and even wakeboarding.
