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. |
