Just a short drive from Buenos Aires, Tigre is a great destination for a day trip while staying in the country’s much busier capital city. Located on the river, Tigre is a bustling port town with plenty of daily markets for tourists to wander around, which sell local produce and food, but also plenty of handmade goods like furniture and trinkets made of wicker and reed. After trying the famous Argentinian drink mate, which is like a bitter green tea, tourists can visit El Museo del Mate to learn more about Argentina’s favorite obsession. Tigre is also home to an art museum, a naval museum, and a history museum, so a day trip here is sure to be not only fun, but also full of culture.
