Captivating Trails of the Tigre Delta - Monte Blanco
Tour description
We will start our tour at the Tigre Fluvial Station, where we will take a collective boat from the Interisleña company.
IMPORTANT:
* Price of the collective boat not included: USD 6 round trip. Private transportation alternatives are available but must be agreed upon with the rest of the group.
* Lunch not included. If possible, the four available options will be offered to visitors. If it's a group, we will always choose the highly recommended La Capitana river inn (only from Friday to Sunday) or, from Monday to Thursday, the La Morada inn/store, which have a varied menu and affordable prices. In case of force majeure, we will opt for Alpenhaus Gasthaus or Viva el Delta.
In addition to enjoying the postcard landscapes from the boat window, during the journey we will provide a historical review and talk about current affairs in the Tigre delta, its customs, and the peculiarities of island life. At the same time, we will do bird watching and point out the fascinating local flora.
We will arrive at the dock of the La Capitana river inn on the wide Capitán River, where we can optionally have lunch in the shade of lush tropical-style trees, with a sandy beach and kayaks available, which you can enjoy for the designated time.
Then, we will continue walking through the mysterious paths of the Rama Negra Grande and Chico streams, observing the mixed architecture and flora - native and exotic - typical of the island, the house of Marcos Sastre. If we have lunch at La Capitana, we can cross the famous Lovers' Bridge, continuing along a wooded path with reeds and ancient trees until we reach the magical Noel Island. If open, we can visit the Monte Blanco Protected Natural Area, which has a wetland interpretation center and an exhibition of island-specific objects. Then, we can walk along its paths to the center of the island, observing the reed beds and ceibos, to understand the curious natural formation of the islands. Then, we will return along the towpath by the Espera stream to the public dock "La Mami" to return on the collective boat at 5:30 pm.
We will finish our tour at the Tigre Fluvial Station.
