Northwards, passing by the residential neighborhoods and the President´s Residence in Olivos.
Leaving the city of Buenos Aires, your next destination will be the San Isidro district, an elegant residential area. You will visit the imposing Neo-gothic Cathedral, placed in the historic centre of the city, which is surrounded by some Colonial and Italian style houses, cobbled streets and its square with centenary trees. Within a short distance you will find the renewed San Isidro Train Station, an interesting complex of restaurants, cinemas and shopping mall.
The visit continues towards Tigre, a lovely neighborhood situated in the delta of Paraná River.
The area was first colonized in 1580, but it was not until the last years of the XVIII century that some people settled in this area. The first inhabitants were smugglers that take advantage of the maze of little rivers and isles to hide and to sneak in with goods, evading custom taxes. Finally, in the last years of the XIX century, it turned into the favorite place for recreation to the high class of Buenos Aires. Therefore, a sail along the Delta, will allow you to admire the old residences making contrast with the wooden houses built over piles, to beat the constant floods; you will also see some yatch and rowing clubs and get to know the typical features of a community that lives in close fellowship with the river.
The delta gathers several little isles covered with abundant subtropical vegetation, crossed by channels and streams, making it an ideal place to relax in touch with nature and pure air.
