Tours
Frequent commuter launches depart from Estación Fluvial (behind the tourist office) for
various destinations in the delta (AR$45 to AR$68 round-trip). A popular destination is
the Tres Bocas neighborhood, a half-hour boat ride from Tigre, where you can take resid-
ential walks on thin paths connected by bridges over narrow channels. There are several
restaurants and accommodations here. The Rama Negra area has a quieter and more nat-
ural setting with fewer services, but is an hour's boat ride away.
Several companies offer inexpensive boat tours (AR$60 to AR$120, one to two
hours), but commuter launches give you flexibility if you want to go for a stroll or stop
for lunch at one of the delta's restaurants.
