Emplacement et comment s'y rendre

The Paraná Delta is a vast network of islands and waterways near Isla Martín García, in the Buenos Aires Region of Argentina. While it lacks a single defined address, most visitors access it via boat from nearby towns such as Tigre, a common starting point for delta excursions.

• From Buenos Aires: Take a train or bus to Tigre (approximately 1 hour), then board a public ferry or private boat tour into the delta.
• From Isla Martín García: Limited boat services connect the island to the delta; inquire locally for schedules.

Heures d'ouverture et billets

The delta itself is accessible year-round, but specific activities (e.g., guided tours) may have set schedules. Public ferries operate daily, while private tours often require advance booking.

• Public ferry tickets: Purchased at docks in Tigre; fares vary by destination.
• Private tours: Prices depend on duration and inclusions (e.g., meals, kayak rentals).

Meilleur moment pour visiter

Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) offer mild temperatures and fewer mosquitoes. Weekdays are quieter than weekends. Early mornings or late afternoons provide softer light for photography.
