Colonia
A truly worthwhile day trip from Tigre is hydrofoil over the Río de la Plata to Colonia. Uruguay's historical gem is a friendly place, made even more relaxed by the cool breezes that come in off the Río de la Plata and tickle its colonial streets.
Colonia is no secret to Argentines, so get in before the rest of the continent succumbs to its charm. The World Heritage-listed site of the Barrio Histórico contains treasures including the superb 17th-century Portuguese contraband port, La Colonia Portuguesa, and the fortress of Colonia.
San Antonio de Areco
On the south bank of the Río Areco, 113km (70mi) is a slice of the old frontier life, where many of the friendly locals still wear gaucho berets, the post office always closes for lunch and nobody ever locks their bikes. The serene village seems years away from the big smoke.
The town is a throwback to the country's vestigial gaucho culture and has become a hugely popular weekend getaway for city slickers. In November it hosts Argentina's hugest gaucho celebration, the Día de la Tradicíon. There are plenty of monuments, museums, cultural centres to keep you amused for days.
Tigre & The Delta Del Paraná
Only an hour north of Bs As by train (slightly longer by bus) is the tranquil suburb of Tigre, a good base for discovering life on the canals of the Delta del Paraná and making trips across to Uruguay. Bs As' porteños come here to retreat and it can get busy on weekends.
The park-like island is an all-in-one historical monument, nature reserve and recreational retreat. The densely forested delta nearby made the island perfect for housing a prison camp as well as a strategic point for guarding against smugglers and protecting approaches to Río Uruguay and Río Paraná.
Activities
BA is home to the fervor of cross-town rivals Boca Juniors (where Maradona played) and River Plate. Even non-football types should try and get to a live match for the drama, theatrics and hysteria - and that's all before the whistle has even blown.
