Tigre sits where the Paraná Delta's brown waterways meet the edge of Greater Buenos Aires, a town built around boats rather than streets. Its riverside promenade, rowing clubs and the sprawling Puerto de Frutos market give it a languid, almost amphibious character that feels far removed from the capital just upriver.

Getting thereTigre is reached by commuter train on the Mitre Line, which runs from Retiro station in Buenos Aires directly to Tigre's riverside terminus in around an hour. Travellers wanting a more scenic approach can instead ride the Tren de la Costa, a separate coastal line that connects to the Mitre Line via a footbridge at Maipú station.
How long to stayA single day covers Tigre's essentials comfortably, including a boat ride through the delta channels, a wander through Puerto de Frutos market and a stroll along the Paseo Victorica promenade.
