Hello, Buenos Aires has 13.5 million people. My visit to the Tigre 10/2010 was well worth doing. Yes, you not in a small northern town in Cali, if that is what you expect than stay home. The Tigre was spectacular, could it be clearner, yes, but so can MB and PC in Cali.

We live in Bs. As. one month a year. Just got back. Went to Tigre twice and took a river launch to Tres Bocas out on the Rio Sarmiento. Had a wonderful lunch at Romanesco Resto Bar. Would have rented a kayak if we’d had more time. I don’t know that I’d swim in the river, but the color is from upstream iron deposits. Since you are a Californian, I would suggest that the water quality is very much like that in the Sacramento River Delta.

Dirty and polluted? Sorry, but you are messing. How the Diego said: “it’s a muddy river” Nothing of pollution.

Brown is not the same than dirty. The Parana river is always brown, it’s because it’s a very muddy river… thus it’s not pollution.

I’m surprised by this article. I was there this December ’08 and I thought the river area was beautiful. It has a dark color because of the minerals in the water but we took a “bus boat” (an inexpensive one used by locals that stops at various places along the delta) and we took it to a place call Tres Bocas where we got off the boat and walked around a beautiful little island that reminded me of a Tom Sawyer kind of place; small little rivers with beautiful wooden long boats and shade trees. It was really quite enjoyable. We found a number of little outdoor restaurants to eat at and spent the day just enjoying the scenery. People were swimming on the beaches along the way and if we had had swimsuits we would have joined the because it was VERY hot that day. It’s not clear water but it is, after all, a river not a lake. I didn’t see any of the pollution mentioned and certainly didn’t smell anything bad. In the hot humid weather we experienced I certainly think it would have smelled bad if had been polluted. Definitely worth the trip out of Bs.As. for the day and very easy to get to for a day trip.

Not true…Not polluted. I even went swimimng in el tigre. It was fab. I have friends that own houses there for decades and nobody thought the place or the pollution has worsen. Haven said that, I am aware of the impact that boats and people have on the delta…but not drama …so far. Go to El Tigre. It’s beautiful.

I lived in Buenos Aires back in 1967 and went to El Tigre back then, it was a beautiful place, I’m sorry to hear that it is so polluted now.

That is odd, when we went to El Tigre everything was very clean, and we had a beatiful time. We took a boat trip to a restaurant, we had lunch and we wished we had more time. We came back another time to see the market.
Unfortunally it started to rain and the stalls were clossing.
But it was very interesting and fun.
we travel all over the world and I faund the bathrooms in Argentina very clean defenitly cleaner than here in America.
I must add that both our visits were not in the weekeed.
I guess everybody has different experiences and see things in a diferent light that is the enjoyment of traveling.
If you whant things to look like home. Just stay home.
