FD SMALL BOAT PRIVATE NAVIGATION IN TIGRE WITH LUNCH AND PRIVATE TRF PIER.
The Paraná Delta is a unique formation in the world. The Paraná and Uruguay rivers join and form a great delta that flows into the Rio de la Plata, which in turn flows into the sea as an estuary. The delta is formed by thousands of islands, many of which maintain their original state, while others are inhabited and full of weekend houses. The delta stays alive not only because of its people and nature, but also due to its constant formation of islands. There are more than 100 species of birds and water plants; virgin nature and infinite horizons only 25 km from the center of the city of Buenos Aires.
On board you can enjoy and explore this wonder of nature with the exclusivity of a typical delta vessel: a flatboat. Afrodita is an old island flatboat built in the middle of last century. It was initially used to transport barrels for a distillery. Its current owners decided to share the pleasure of sailing aboard the “Afrodita” so many more could enjoy the Paraná Delta exclusively.
Onboard activities. Life on board is always pleasant; exploring the delta, its wooded islands, meeting its people and traditions. When sailing, you can see the life of the delta in its different areas. Water buses, supplies boats, people going on canoe to the coast, the bridges and pristine nature. In days when the water is low you can usually see residents cutting reed that will later be used for basketmaking when dry. Once the boat is anchored, you may take a bath in the river, swim, or just relax on the lifeboat. Listening to good music, reading, enjoying a good meal; it’s all part of the experience aboard the Afrodita. A time to observe the birds such as the heron starting to fly slowly while spreading its big wings, or the kingfisher waiting patiently from a branch to dive into the water and catch a fish.
Meals on board: the barbeque is the star during the meals.
