Visit to Buenos Aires

Paraná Delta – The Other Face of Buenos Aires

Close to Buenos Aires, leave the hustle and bustle of the city to discover the Paraná Delta, a landscape of water and greenery composed of rivers, submerged forests and small islands. Here, rivers serve as roads and houses are nestled between trees, in an environment where life is organized around water.

Navigate at the rhythm of the delta

Board a boat to explore the different arms of the delta. As you navigate, observe scenes of local life and changing landscapes, including a fisherman, a colorful stilt house or a resting heron.

A unique ecosystem

The Delta welcomes many migratory birds, aquatic plants, capybaras, these large peaceful rodents, as well as a few more discreet caimans. You also discover a territory where inhabitants live in direct contact with this natural environment.

The Countryside and the Gauchos, the Soul of Argentine Tradition

Embark on an immersion in a colonial mansion from 1880, in San Antonio de Areco. Surrounded by century-old trees, the estancia immerses you in the daily life of rural living. After waking to the sound of nature, set off on a morning horseback ride through the fields and take time to observe the ancestral expertise of gauchos wielding the lasso.

Around a smoky asado, also enjoy Argentine hospitality and a convivial moment. Leather and wood recall local traditions, while the day ends simply, around a shared maté facing the horizon, at sunset.

On site, discovery takes place along a unique panoramic trail, arranged facing the falls. The route allows you to gradually enjoy a spectacular overall view. Dozens of cascades then appear before you and pour into the gorge.

Close to the force of the water
