Plaza in north Buenos Aires
The bus from the ship to the boat tour travelled thru the northern area of Buenos Aires.  It appeared quite prosperous.  We had a stop at a church near this plaza.


Excursion boat at Tigre, Argentina
The Parana River Delta has many channels.  There are summer/vacation homes on many of them.  Our tour visited parts of the Delta as shown on the GPS track above.

General store and fuel station on a Delta island

There are no roads to houses on Delta islands.  All transportation is by boat.  The guide said it is possible to have pizza delivered by boat for a 15% premium.
