Description

Imagine leaving behind the fast pace of Buenos Aires and experiencing a day when time seems to pass differently. The experience begins with departure from the hotel in a private van, heading towards Tigre, where the urban landscape gives way to the greenery and rivers of the Paraná Delta. Upon arrival, you will visit the traditional **Puerto de Frutos**, a market with handicrafts, decorative objects, regional products, and items made with materials characteristic of the Delta. The itinerary also includes the elegant **Paseo Victorica**, a historic avenue on the banks of the Luján River, surrounded by old rowing clubs, museums, mansions, and beautiful landscapes. Next, you'll board a typical shared speedboat to navigate the rivers and canals of the Delta. The boat is also used by the residents of the islands, making the trip more authentic and allowing you to observe houses, schools, clubs, piers, and small businesses in the region. As the cruise progresses, the bustle of the city gives way to the sound of the water, the vegetation, and the slow pace of life in the Delta. The centerpiece of the experience is the exclusive **Isla El Descanso**, a retreat of over 40 hectares located on the banks of the Sarmiento River. Upon disembarking, you will find a space where nature, landscaping and Argentine contemporary art coexist in harmony. Its trails, bridges, streams, water features, and monumental sculptures create a setting that invites contemplation. During a private guided visit lasting approximately one hour, you will learn about the history of the property, its landscape design, the biodiversity of the Delta, and its important open-air art collection. The route features works by renowned Argentine and Latin American artists, organically integrated into the island's vegetation and landscape. After the tour, a three-course lunch paired with wines will be served in an exclusive setting surrounded by nature. A culinary experience to be enjoyed in tranquility, respecting the island's special pace. After lunch, there will be time to walk through the gardens, contemplate the works, and enjoy the serenity of the place. The experience also includes a refined tea service before the return. The conclusion is one of the most memorable moments of the tour: a premium cruise through various rivers of the Delta and the waters of the Río de la Plata towards Buenos Aires. During the journey, the vegetation-lined canals give way to the immensity of the River Plate, until the skyline of Puerto Madero begins to appear on the horizon. After the drop-off in Puerto Madero, the driver will be waiting for the private transfer back to the hotel. A complete experience that brings together nature, art, gastronomy, and two ways to navigate the Delta: first, like the locals, and then, on the return, on board a premium vessel. More than a tour of Tigre, a day to slow down, refresh your senses, and discover one of the most special places in the Paraná Delta.
