Isla El Descanso Day Trip (3 Hours)
Once we're all ready at the starting point, we'll board a boat that will take us to sail through the Paraná Delta until we reach the coast of the Sarmiento River. Let's set sail!
During 30 minutes, you'll be able to admire the rowing clubs, the Costa Park, the Tigre Municipal Museum of Fine Art, and the Sarmiento History Museum. Finally, we'll reach the entrance to Isla El Descanso, where we'll disembark and start a guided tour to discover the charm of its landscapes and the history of its monuments.
We'll pass by its lush gardens of elaborate designs, located among creeks, bridges, and canals. During this walking tour, you'll find various sculptures by renowned Argentinean artists, such as Julio Le Parc, Pablo Reinoso, Bastón Díaz, Carlos Gallardo, Vivianne Duchinni, Pablo Curatella Manes, and José Fioravanti. Curious to learn about their career and artworks? You'll find out!
After finishing the tour, you'll have free time to enjoy the island's pure air until it's time to regroup and start our journey back to Tigre.
