Tigre is just a few kilometers north of Buenos Aires and borders the Paraná Delta. With a length of 4500 kilometers the Rio Paraná is the second longest stream in South America. The water masses are so tremendous that even container ships can go as far as Rosario and even further. The river discharges into the Río de la Plata just about 10 kilometers South of Tigre.
