Paseo Victoria
Paseo Victoria is a super zone of restaurants and rowing clubs, where you can find the Museo Naval de la Nacion, the Centro Naval, the Centro Cultural (ex Tigre Club).
The “Camino Real” Trail
Leave the tourist office, cross the Puente Sacriste and follow the Tigre river to the left along Lavalle street until you hit the Salas bridge. There, turning right, begins street 25 de Mayo, part of the old “Royal Road” which continues on to Av. Liners, passing by the Almacén Faggionato (Estrada and 25 de Mayo). Following Av. Liniers, you will reach the Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción (dating back to 1770, located at Av. Liniers 1500), and to your left and further along the old customs building (Av. Liniers and Esmeralda). Going back along Av. Liniers to the Av. Libertador, you will find various historic houses like the Casa Perón (Av. Liniers 1396) and the Museo de la Prefectura (Av. Liniers 1264). Toward the right along Av. Libertador you will find the Biblioteca Popular Sarmiento and then the Puente Sacriste, going over the Rio Tigre. Crossing this bridge, and the Av. De las Naciones Unidas, you will come to the TBA Estación Tigre.
Puerto de Frutos
The Puerto de Frutos houses an open air commercial center with a wide variety of products made with material from our very own region like fruits, netting, cane and  wood. There are also boats which transport wood from various forested islands, speedboats that act as stores for those who live along the Delta and various other traditional boats from the area.
Arroyo Caraguatá
This stream, a tributary to the Rio Lujan, ends basically in front of Canal Aliviador. It is long and serpent-like and begins a few meters away from the Paraná de las Palmas, overlooking the Canal Gobernador Arias. Along the stream are various traditional houses that process reeds and fruit production. At some of the docks they sell citrus and honey and a few meters before Canal Arias there is a small homemade sweets factory.
Río Capitán
A few minutes sailing away from Tigre, toward Paraná de las Palmas, Lies Río Capitán. Going past Canal Fontana is the meeting point with Arroyo Rama Negra. The area around Rama Negra has trails that follow its length. If you continue along this trail you will find yourself at Arroyo Rama Negra Chico and Arroyo Gaviotas, where you can explore a dense forest and bird watch. The public trails on the islands are not equipped for wheelchairs or strollers. The Capitán circuit ends at the confluence with the majestic Paraná de las Palmas, located in an area full of natural beauty. There you can see various types of plants like juncales, sarandies, ceibos and sauces.
Río Carapachay
A good or gentle man in the Guaranie language, Carapachay is the name of this river which begins at the Paraná de las Palmas and ends at the Río Luján. On this segment, which goes all the way to Canal 8, there are a few stores, a dock, and a public walkway, Peryra, which connects with Arroyo Esperita.
Río Paraná de las Palmas
The Río Paraná de las Palmas is one of the principal branches of the Rio Paraná (Father of the waters, in indigenous languages) which begins in Matto Grosso, Brazil and is the natural boundary between the Tigre Delta and San Fernando. It is a great place for sport fishing and you can fish great shad, fresh-water shark, tararira, pacú, catfish, manguruyú, eels, and others. This river is, because of its tremendous depth, one of the main navigation routes for commercial boats going between upriver and Uruguay. Not only its depth, but also its width, which reaches 1km in this area is impressive. On the right hand side, where it meets the río Carapachay, is the island security corps. It also contains the dome that once belonged to the floating church Cristo Rey.
Río San Antonio—Arroyo Dorado
This river, which goes from Rio Capitán until the Río de la Plata, is the main run for water skiing and where other nautical sports such as wakeboarding and jet skiing are practiced. It is quite full on weekends. Along the length of the river, on both sides, houses and weekend homes alternate with rest areas and beaches. After going up the Rio Urión, you go into the Canal del Este and then the Arroyo Desaguadero, both of which have considerable natural beauty, where you can find diverse aquatic plant life like sagitarias and juncos and very large hortensias which grow not only in peoples’ gardens but also wild. The Canal Honda, which is quite deep, is the sailing route of yachts as well as tourist and commercial boats going to Uruguay and island Martín García.
Río Sarmiento
In front of the Puerto de Frutos, overlooking the Rio Luján, is the end of the Río Sarmiento, one of the most populated areas of the first part of the Delta islands. At the unmistakable pronounced curve of the Río Sarmiento, where Arroyo Reyes ends, is the Museo Sarmiento. The river is named after a former Argentine president, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, who used this house, today a museum, as a vacation home. The museum has a quaint park with exotic and domestic plant species. It is very inviting and perfect for a stroll or sitting along the banks of the river in order to breathe in the peace and tranquility. Getting off at the public dock, you can walk along the Arroyo Reyes on one of the public trails that go along it. It will take you to Arroyo Angostura, where there are a lot of native flora and fauna. The public trails on the island are not equipped for wheelchairs or strollers. The path along Rio Sarmiento ends right past the area of Tres Bocas (at the La Esmeralda dock), which is an area with a lot of public trails and many bridges perfect for long walks. Just like those at Arroyo Reyes and throughout the rest of the Delta, these trails are maintained by the permanent population that lives in the area and uses them on a daily basis.
Arroyo Abra Vieja
The Abra Vieja is a quaint stream which begins around Tres Bocas, 35 minutes away by public boat. The area has public trails which go along the shore of the river Sarmiento and the La Perla, Santa Rosa and Abra Vieja streams, with many bridges which allow for long walks. These public trails are maintained by the permanent population of the area, who uses them daily. It is important to know that you cannot walk along the entire Arroyo Abra Vieja on public trails because they are interrupted by the Canal Rompani. There, on the right, is the Biblioteca Popular and the Sociedad de Fomento Isleña and next to both the Centro Tecnológico Comunal.
Río Luján
This area refers to the length of the Río Luján, from its inception at the Canal Arias (the western division of Delta de Tigre and Delta de Escobar) until its ends at the Río de la Plata. Leaving from the docks of Domingo F. Sarmiento (overlooking Río Tigre), you reach the confluence of the Río Tigre and the Río Luján in a few minutes. On the left hand side is the Monumento al Remero, which pays homage to national and international rowers, and is where the Paseo Victoria, a coastal circuit along the shores of the Río Luján, begins.
