Experience the beauty of Tigre and the Paraná River delta on a full-day bike and kayak excursion. Explore the stunning nature and immerse yourself in the culture of Buenos Aires’ northern suburbs.
Meeting in “La Esquina del Anti-Gourmet” (Ravignani 2120), we begin our bike tour with a thorough orientation, introducing you to the city, tour specifics, your bicycle, and each other. Pointing our front tire North, we pedal through the beautiful “lung of Buenos Aires,” a 65 hectare public park spaces known as Los Bosques de Palermo. Arriving at our train stop, we board only for a few stops to avoid heavy traffic that’s entering the city.
We get off at the La Lucila station and it’s just a quick pedal to reach the River Plate Coastline. There you’ll capture the jagged city skyline from a distance. Stretched and ready to ride, we enjoy the many beautiful parks that line the river’s edge. This is where we’ll do most of our riding with fewer stops.
We eventually go up a hill so we can ride through the architecturally astounding neighborhoods of San Isidro….

Our tour ends back at our meeting point in Palermo (Plaza Italia) where we recapture the day and suggest some BA must do’s.

Situated a mere 32 km from Buenos Aires city center, Tigre and the Paraná River delta region present a fantastic foray into natural beauty. We furnish a comprehensive day-long cycling excursion, supplemented by a delta kayaking adventure. This biking trip takes you through Tigre, the delta region, and the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, amalgamating both physical activities and local culture in an idyllic setting. Access to this region is conveniently provided by train and then a bicycle tour through the northern suburbs, which are arguably the most appealing part of entire Buenos Aires (a ride of 2 to 3 hours). The ultimate destination, Tigre and its adjacent islands, is worth the trip to experience one of the most captivating
- Medium difficulty: This is the most “sporty” of the biking tours, but have no fear - these one day tours are still peaceful and relaxing. You need, however, to be confident rider, and able to use a kayak.
