Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Tigre's huge delta region is dotted with dozens of accommodations, including camping,
B&Bs,
cabañas
(cabins) and beach resorts. Since many are reached only by boat, most
provide meals. Tigre's tourist office has photos and information on all accommodations
and many are listed on its website. Book on weekends and holidays, when prices can rise
significantly.
Tigre's cuisine is not cutting-edge, but dining can be atmospheric. For an upscale meal
on Paseo Victorica, the city's pleasant riverside avenue, try
María Luján
( 4731-9613;
Paseo Victorica 611; mains AR$80-150; 8:30am-midnight)
, which has a great patio. Another
good eatery is bohemian

, offering healthy breakfasts and gourmet sandwiches. Ask the tourist office
