About

This is the most up to date environmentally-friendly railway in Argentina. It starts on the Great Buenos Aires area (Vicente Lopez district) and goes all the way to the Delta in Tigre District. The train was thought to connect the Belgrano barrio with the Delta but every station along the 15.5 km is a destination by itself.

Stations:

Anchorena: you can enjoy the view of Río de la Plata right next to you while dinning.
Barrancas: originally built in wood, this station reveals it's trditional English Style. You can rent bikes or just visit the antiques fair on weekends.
San Isidro: this station deserves a stop. it's located next to the Cathedral wich you can't miss and right on a pretty cute outdoor mall. You'll find great stores, restaurants and a movie theater.
Punta Chica: taste great argentinian wines at the La Avelina Restaurant
Marina Nueva, San Fernando and Canal: this are stations used more by permanent residents rather than tourists.
Delta: final destination. Train arrives and you find yourself in the middle of a crafts fair and this is only the beggining. The Delta area has so many attractions that it deserves an article itself..
