El Descanso Island

A Relaxed Getaway on the Paraná Delta Discover the natural beauty of El Descanso Island, a private garden island just outside Buenos Aires. Set out by motor coach toward the town of Tigre, gateway to the Paraná Delta, one of the largest wetlands in South America. On arrival, you will board a motorboat and journey to El Descanso Island. This privately developed retreat is known for its carefully curated landscaping, native vegetation and outdoor sculptures by prominent Argentine artists including Julio Le Parc, Pablo Reinoso, Carlos Gallardo and more. During your visit, you may choose to stroll the landscaped paths with a guide to learn about the delta’s ecology. Alternatively, relax and soak up the island atmosphere while listening to the sounds of local birdlife. At the end of your excursion, enjoy a light snack before returning to your vessel and beginning the journey back to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
