Overview
Tigre sits at the edge of the Paraná Delta, making it a natural weekend escape for porteños seeking river air and open water. The city gives its name to the tiger jaguars once hunted in these wetlands, and today the delta's maze of channels and islands draws day-trippers aboard wooden commuter boats.
