Tigre is a town situated 28 km (17.5 miles) north of Buenos Aires city. The town sits on an island created by several small streams and rivers. It’s name derives from the “tigres” or jaguars that were hunted there in its early years. First settled by Europeans, the port developed to serve the Delta and to bring fruit and wood from the Delta and ports upstream on the Paraná river. Tigre is still an important timber processing port. The “Puerto de Frutos” (fruit port) is now a wonderful crafts fair located in the old fruit market by the riverside.
Antiques shops, riverside restaurants and pubs, and its renowned natural beauty make Tigre a popular tourist destination throughout the year.
Tigre is also the starting point for a visit to the magnificent Paraná Delta. For locals and tourists alike, motorboats are the favorite way to travel through its web of inter-connecting rivers and streams. English-style rowing clubs, countless marinas, the Museum of Art, humble dwellings and elegant mansions from the “Belle Époque”, such as the Tigre Club, are to be seen, as well as small pensions and upscale lodges, restaurants, teahouses and simple picnic sites. |

Why is City Break Tour different than the conventional Tigre tour?
Our guide is fully bilingual, certified and trained to operate our 17-feet Mercury 4.90 sport 90 horsepower motorboat (See picture on the left.)
Enjoy lunch at a typical island-restaurant; or have a special asado lunch at a “parrilla” for you and your group.
You decide your own route! You can decide when and where to stop as we cruise down the canals of your choice. Other conventional tours won’t offer you this kind of service because they have a predetermined route and because their boats are too large to navigate through same of the narrower canals. City Break Tour offers you a unique experience other tours cannot offer.
There is a limit of 5 people per boat so as to accommodate everyone as comfortable as possible to enjoy the smooth ride. Interested in water sports?
We have all the equipment necessary for you to enjoy some extreme wakeboarding.... even tubing! For those of you that enjoy the quiet paddling at your own pace, we also have kayaks for rent. Which are the options of menu in the restaurant? The menu includes an appetizer, the main dish, a non-alcoholic beverage and a dessert, there is also a separate menu for vegetarians. |
