City dwellers the world over have places where they escape, destinations that provide relief from the hectic pace of urban life. For portenos, Tigre is that kind of place.

Located twenty kilometers north of Buenos Aires at the edge of the Parana Delta, Tigre was once the destination of choice for the city’s elite.

Today Tigre is a preferred day trip, easily accessible by train. People come to relax and enjoy the lush green islands and maze of waterways that define the delta region.

And they come for the Parque de la Costa, one of South America’s largest amusement parks.

Mostly, they come for Tigre’s main attraction: The opportunity to enjoy a day on water and do as little as possible. In other words, our kind of town.
