Only 18 miles north of Buenos Aires, there is an extraordinary ecological zone: the Parana River Delta. You can get there by taking the picturesque Tren de la Costa(Riverside Train), whose path along Rio de la Plata coast will allow you to see luxurious residences and a lovely coastline. Or, take the regular train (cheaper) that all people take to come to work to the city.
Interestingly, ninety million tons of sedimentation carried by the Parana river produce an accumulation of land of approximately 20 inches every year, forming the different islands that constitute the Delta region, one of which is Tigre.
The region of the Tigre Delta is among the world's largest, and it is one of the only major deltas in the world that does not empty into a sea or ocean. It flows instead into the Río de la Plata, which separates Argentina and Uruguay, after the Río Paraná splits into several smaller rivers and forms a multitude of sedimentary islands covered in forest and grasslands.
