The life at Delta is acuatic, is a Venezian Jungle, because of forest and Palaces, here instead of buses and transports there are boats, Firemen boat, supermarket boat, public bus boat, etc.  There is a spirit floating over the water, remaing in the silence of inhabitants, in the purr of their boats, in the playful look of the countless dogs without race of the islands.

The Delta of Tigre is in the south part of the argentinean mesopothamy (mesopotamia), one of the few in the world (In greek: Μεσοποταμία, "between rivers", in reference to a land absolutelly sourronded by rivers. As well its enormous size (6600 square miles, 300 islands), the delta of Tigre stands out because of being the only one who doesn't reach the sea but a river, the widest of the World (20 miles, yes, 20, of wide). There only a few deltas of a relevant size in the planet, the most known are the Orinoco's and Nilo's.

The Fruit Harbour is a picturesque market at the side of the river, where you can buy handicrafts and of course, fruits and vegetables. 

Not-to-miss are Sarmiento´s House (inside the delta, protected in big cristal cube against the hard dampness), the Fruit Harbour and the Museum of Art of Tigre, and almost-floating aristocratic palace. There also are nice places to have a té with homemade cakes (it seems to be that all the Aunts of Argentina lives there).

Any colective boat could open the gate of a mistery: the island, it doesn't matter wich one. To walk between channells across narrow trails of golf-mowed grass is the great dream of those who left the madness of downtown. Usually the chosen trail runs beside of a little stream, that will flow on to the river that surround the island, and that stream is feeded by a smaller one, that is feeded by a trickle an so on, that is the Green Venezia. Do you like to discover all this Magic?
