Travelling and visiting Buenos Aires does not involve only attending a Tango show or going on a City Tour around the city. Our city has got a lot of attractions in its surroundings which deserve to be visited. Here we would like to propose you a different way of discovering it by sailing in the Delta Premium Navigation to Tigre and Delta.

To start this journey we go to the maritime terminal at Puerto Madero. This is a small shipping port for arrival and departure that is near the Buquebus terminal.

After checking in, we wait for a couple of minutes to climb the catamaran that is going to take us along the Río de la Plata coast to our final destination at Tigre in the Province of Buenos Aires.

On board of the modern catamaran our trip starts. As we get away from the port the contrasts between modernity of Puerto Madero and its skyscrapers and the historical buildings which give character to our City of Buenos Aires can be appreciated.

During the journey from a distance the neighborhoods of Recoleta, Palermo, Botánico, Aeroparque [small airport], the coastal area, Ciudad Universitaria [campus university] and then the main neighborhoods of the Northern Area of the Province of Buenos Aires such as Vicente López, Olivos, San Isidro among others can be observed.

For outdoor activities lovers, travelling on the stern of the boat in the open air and from where you can take interesting pictures is available. For those who prefer the quietness, inside the catamaran there are comfortable armchairs and a snack is served during the trip that takes 1 hour 50 minutes. The catamaran leaves at 10 am from the North Dock (‘Dársena Norte’, Puerto Madero) and returns to Buenos Aires at 4 pm from the river station of Tigre.

This drive can also be combined with the excursion to Tigre where you have the possibility of returning by land visiting the neighborhoods of the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, entering the Cathedral of San Isidro or the other way around initiating this land trip and returning from Tigre to Puerto Madero on the catamaran.

Below we detail some of the technical data of the excursion and remember should you need more information about this product contact your Kallpa personal officer or leave a message in our contact form.

Peninsula Valdés is a paradise where nature reigns and where you may experience a special and unique kind of peace. This region’s fauna is diverse, from penguins and sea lions up to whales and orcas are some of the attractions that we can observe there.

But our adventure has just started. Let’s explore the “Golfo San José” [Gulf of San José]. We are close to the starting point and we begin to feel what is going to come. We climb on the kayaks prepared by our expert guides and we start rowing towards our most expected target… the whales.

 

Many questions cross our minds before starting this adventure: Are we going to get very close to the whales? Are we going to be able to see them? Is it going to be dangerous? Is it going to be safe? Soon each of our questions will be answered by this adventure unique in its style.

The itinerary starts by entering the waters of the Gulf of San José. The kayaks we sail on are very silent, and do not interfere with the environmental harmony in any way. A whale tail appears not very far from where we are. Then we see them surface, an unbelievable experience. These experiences help us better understand the size and life of such unique and peaceful specimens. After having the privilege of watching the Right Southern Whale, we will see a small colony of sea lions and several sea birds.

Later we reach a small bay where we prepare ourselves to enjoy an assorted lunch and to trek to a cliff-like area surrounded by spectacular views of the Gulf. This excursion, including the hike, involves a 10km for 6 hours of duration.

The service includes snack, box lunch. The recommendation is to take this hiking excursion between June and December months when you can go whale-watching the Right Southern Whale.

Another option for more demanding travelers is to explore the “Golfo Nuevo” [New Gulf]. Throughout this journey you leave from Puerto Pirámides on kayak to Bahía Pardelas, one of the Gulf’s most spectacular beaches due to its transparent water.

During the sailing we can observe whales, different species of sea birds and we visit a cave and high cliff area.

After having lunch at Pardelas’ beach we start our return trip to Pirámides, this may be sailing on kayak or by hiking along the cliffs and through sand dunes, witnessing an amazing dusk.

As in the case of the excursion to the Gulf of San José, the service includes snacks, box lunch. The recommendation is to take this excursion between June and December months when you can go whale-watching the Right Southern Whale.

Transfers to Puerto Pirámides, the starting point on both experiences, are not included. Travelers can go there by themselves by car or rent private transportation.

In our July special Kallpa Gourmet Fervor Restaurant is the star.

“Fervor” has special mysticism. It is as if we were entering in a small-sized Buenos Aires, a world of dreams where you may feel its BA’s soul. When you visit Fervor you are having a true encounter with the Argentinian flavor. It is like embracing one of the best restaurants in its style in Buenos Aires and taking a picture with the true grill gastronomy where meat and seafood create the ideal environment to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner.

Without any doubt “Fervor Brasas de Campo y mar” [Fervor, Embers of Countryside and Sea] is one of our best recommendations in the restaurants’ field in Buenos Aires. We have in several occasions received excellent comments from people who had the opportunity of eating there.

Among the qualities that make the place to stand out we can mention its staff service, always helpful and willing to provide a special and professional care, and the quality and presentation of its plates.

 

We suggest trying the skirt steak, meat or seafood barbecue, which are very tasty and are the most highlighted plates, highly applauded and praised.

 

Fervor is located on 1519 Posadas (Posadas Street and Callao Avenue) at the Recoleta” neighborhood of Buenos Aires only some meters away from its emblematic cemetery. By the way, the name of the neighborhood comes from the Order of the Recoletos, barefoot monks who arrived in this area, then the outskirts

The menu of Fervor is very varied and the price of a complete menu per person is USD 67.

We are not only committed to organizing an authentic trip but also to pleasing a good palate.
