Tigre

Visiting Tigre for a day was like a mini holiday from the bustling city of Buenos Aires. Tigre is a little town in the North of Buenos Aires about 50 minutes train ride outside of the main capital, its main attraction being the deltas that you can take scenic boat rides on. At first, however, our day didn't get off to a good start. The plan was to spend a nice relaxing train journey up there and arrived refreshed. The train turned out to be very run down and very busy - to which we did not get a seat - this makes sense as to why it was 30p then!

When we got there it was a different story, the sun was shining and the town was really pretty and peaceful. We booked a boat trip for later that afternoon and set off to explore. We wandered down some back streets and along the river noting a place to come back and have lunch later before we began our boat trip. Turns out our boat trip was also so cheap because the entire commentary was in Spanish - doh! We tried to use our limited Spanish to understand but also it was just nice to look out of the window and see why the portenos of BA come here at weekends and for holidays.

After our boat ride we went for another yummy steak before setting off back home to BA.
