About this experience
Special launch price! While we gather our first reviews.
Most visitors explore Tigre by taking the big catamaran.
This experience goes further. we'll travel on a traditional wooden island boat used by locals that navigates the main rivers and then continues deeper into the islands, followed by a guided walk through an island neighborhood to see how locals really live.
The reward is a six-course Argentine asado paired with wine, prepared slowly and shared in a private space for our group.
The beef i cook is local veal that is not exported, allowing you to taste Argentina’s most prized cut and compare it with one of the world’s best.
I’m not fully bilingual, but we won’t have any problems.
This is not a tour for everyone—it’s for curious travelers and food lovers.

What you'll see
If you’re looking for a typical tour, I honestly can’t offer you that. This is something much more personal—it's an invitation to experience the Delta through my eyes and at my table. My goal is for you to forget you are a "tourist" for a few hours and feel like a local guest.
We’ll travel on a traditional wooden boat and walk the quiet island trails I use every day. There is no luxury here, just the real Delta: dirt paths, friendly neighborhood dogs, and the quiet pace of the river. It’s about slowing down and connecting with a small group of people who, like you, are looking for something genuine.
The heart of our day is a shared meal in my private space—a "quincho" we usually reserve for family and friends. I’ll be your host and cook, preparing a slow six-course asado with local veal, a prized cut we locals keep for ourselves.
I’m not fully bilingual, but I’ve learned that good wine and a warm fire translate perfectly. If you value connection and authentic stories over a polished itinerary,

Important information
Public transportation options are available nearby
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Not recommended for travelers only looking to sit and eat. This is an outdoor experience where nature is part of the charm. To reach the house we walk along quiet island paths, crossing some small bridges and dirt trails. There are no swamps or wild jungle, but if the river rises, certain areas may have a bit of mud. It’s not a difficult walk, but not for high heels. You may also meet friendly neighborhood dogs wandering freely—this is how locals live here. For a clear idea of the paths, bridges, and authentic island vibe, check short videos on our Instagram . Not all those bridges or trails are required to arrive, but they help you picture the neighborhood.
Meeting point
We’ll meet at the Pier N°2 inside Tigre’s Fluvial Station (50 meters from Mc Donalds)
