Near Buenos Aires City, 28km heading north, is the town of Tigre. You can get there by two different railroads (a touristic one called Tren de la Costa and the Mitre Line Railroad) or by the Pan-American Route. Close to the delta of the River Plate and the Paraná River, Tigre offers a unique landscape and many touristic sightsees. Hostel Colonial tells you how to get there and how to enjoy a day there.
To get to Tigre, from our Hostel Colonial, the fastest and closest option is the Mitre Line Railroad, from Retiro Station, less than 10 blocks away from here, although the touristic Tren de la Costa probably has the best views of the River Plate coastline. You can get to it by a combination of subway and bus. The good thing is that both railroads have their head stations near the main attractions of Tigre.
One thing you should do in there is to take the boat trip by the Luján River. The boats depart from the Tigre River Port Station in a trip that will show you some of the typical houses and nautical clubs, the islander’s way of life and some historic places where former Argentine Presidents and renowned writers lived. Two great routes you might try are the Lavalle Victoria path (by the Luján River coastline) and the Camino Real Circuit (in 25 de Mayo Street).
To end the day, after these long walks, the ideal place is the Puerto de Frutos. Here, you will find typical local handicrafts (made of wicker). You can also enjoy a great meal on one of the traditional bars and restaurants of this place. The best thing is that the Puerto de Frutos is just a few blocks away from the railroads which will bring you back to the city… and to our Hostel!
