Boat tour around Delta & visit to MAT
The Culture Agency from Tigre invites attendees for a boat tour through the Delta rivers, with stunning views of the natural landscape and a short stop at the Sarmiento Museum. Afterwards the MAT will host a visit around the museum and an informal lunch. Conceived as a house museum, it operates as a historic building on the Delta and is a magnificent example of Beaux Arts architecture. MAT features an important collection of Argentinian art from the 19th and 20th centuries and also presents temporary exhibitions.
The event will begin at 10:30 AM at the Estación Fluvial Tigre (Gral. Bartolomé Mitre 305, Tigre). You can get there by train from Retiro Train Station (schedule: www.trenmitre.com.ar) or hire a car recommended by the hotel.

This tour will provide an in-depth introduction to its history, architecture, culture, anecdotes and secrets. A four-hour journey will provide the fundamental keys for understanding the city: the lively downtown, the “aristocratic” northern neighborhoods and the working-class southern districts. We will visit prominent sites in Buenos Aires that are symbols of the city’s transformation from a village to a metropolis.
