Tigre

Tigre is an hour by train from Buenos Aires and a day out for many portenos. We travelled out on the smooth, new, Tren de la Costa. A pleasant if not spectacular journey. Off the train it presents itself like Skegness but we quickly got past that to very pleasant riverside (and an excellent restaurant).

Tigre is on the delta of the River Plate and there are many boats offering tours. We spent an intriguing hour and were surprised that there were so many houses, presumably summer houses for the rich of Buenos Aires.
So we had a good day out but it was not as pretty as I had expeted from the publicity.
