Tigre
April 7, 2007
Tigre, the Amazon version of Venice, is a river city sitting on the Delta de Tigre where the pulsing Parana River pours into the Atlantic. Lost in its myriads river channels on a boat-ride, we found a little town smiling at us veiled behind the willows called Tres Bocas. With the same enthusiasm that Americans design the front lawn, the delta residents sure compete on their docks. That’s right; every household has a dock so they can flag stop a market boat, a hospital boat, or simply a bus boat to go to downtown.And on the way back, you'd better remember the name of the house you're staying, because there are no addresses! Will you join me for a cup of tea at the "Giggling Witch" before hitting the BBQ party at the "Smoking Zeus"?
