Description:

Leave the bustle of Buenos Aires behind and journey to the Parana River Delta. Explore the quiet residential town of San Isidro, pass by the Presidential Residence, and take in the riverfront scenery on a boat cruise by the island town of Tigre.

After being picked up from your hotel, ride by bus to the small and affluent community of San Isidro. Stroll its cobbled streets, historic city center, and market, and then admire the stately Quinta de Olivos—this charming Baroque and neo-Gothic structure on sprawling grounds is the official residence of the Argentine president.

Continue on to Tigre, an island formed by rivers and streams. Step aboard a river boat for a cruise along the island’s coast, learning about the river-dependent lifestyle of the isleños who call Tigre home and the fascinating turn-of-the-century history and culture of the town. Admire its Belle Epoque architecture and waterfront promenades as you sip coffee and nibble on alfajores, traditional Agentine cookies filled with sweet dulce de leche, before your return to downtown Buenos Aires.
