Tigre

Tigre is a city and partido in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina, located in the northern part of the province and part of the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The city sits on the delta of the Paraná River, where multiple waterways, channels and islands create a landscape that favors boat transport and riverfront activity. The partido, which shares the same name, includes residential neighborhoods, commercial districts and protected natural areas.

Tourism is a major part of Tigre's economy. Visitors come to see the Puerto de Frutos market, walk along Paseo Victorica, and visit cultural sites such as the Museo de Arte Tigre (MAT), located in a former shipyard along the river. The area also hosts the Parque de la Costa amusement park and various river excursions that offer tours of the delta. Transportation links include the Tren de la Costa, a rail service that connects Tigre with the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, and regular ferry and boat services along the delta.

In Spanish, Tigre translates to tiger, the large carnivorous feline. The use of the name in Argentina relates to local history and to branding for the delta region; the animal itself is not native to the area.
