El Tigre Island

Where many of the streets are rivers and the cars are boats. It’s a great place to get away for a bit from the bustle of Buenos Aires. We visit a crafts market, take a boat trip, picnic for lunch, and enjoy the old homes and laid back ambience of this historic place north of Buenos Aires. more info
