Tigre is a getaway of wealthy Portenos (BA inhabitants). It's situated in islands. The whole region is a part of Delta Parana. The town sits on an island created by several small streams and rivers and was founded in 1820.
To get to a specific address you need to know by which river it is situated. Each habitat is named.
The main problem here is a potable water. You have to buy it in supermarket boats.
What we noticed at a first glance - was the 'dirty' color of the water. It appears that it comes from the material brought by the river from central part of he continent.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't like to swim there...
In this region, it's not rainfalls which can cause floods. This is dominated by winds: first one comes from north-west and it's called pampa. The other wind comes from the ocean (north-east). It rises the water level which can be dangerous.
Later on we took a boat back to Puerto Madero (BA). It cost us 150 pesos and was worth it's value. It's a good alternative to the train.
