What to see
First section
To know the delta you have to navigate it. On the islands there is a stable population of islanders, weekend houses, recreation, inns and campsites. It is a 100% aquatic world, where buses and supermarkets are boats and life happens at the rhythm of the tides.
If you want to visit the place for the day, you can take a boat or catamaran excursion through the first section, do water sports such as wakeboarding or rowing, or go to one of the recreation areas that offer options to spend the day. There are also many options to spend the night and wake up to the sound of nature. If you do not reserve in advance, at the Tigre Fluvial terminal several providers offer excursions for the day.
Second and Third Section
The second and third sections are the ones located furthest away, in San Fernando district, which are part of the Paraná Delta Biosphere Reserve. Although sailing to this area takes longer (2 hours from the Port of Tigre), it is a very quiet area that will make you feel close to nature. There are private reserves with trails to get to know the typical environment of the area.
Talavera Island
One of the most popular reserves in Zárate is the Talavera Island, with rustic camping areas, cottages, bungalows, fishing clubs and private recreation centres. You can reach the island by crossing the Zárate-Brazo Largo Bridge, which connects the provinces of Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos.
Otamendi
From the town of Otamendi (at km 67.5 of Panamericana) and along the Camino Islas Malvinas, you access the Paraná de las Palmas pier from where you can cross by raft to the other side of the river, where there are recreation areas and campsites. You can combine this walk with a visit to the Ciervo de los Pantanos National Park.
