Start your adventure with a bird’s-eye view of Buenos Aires and the Lujan River on a Helicopter Tour. This 45-minute morning tour, available at 8:00 AM, offers a breathtaking aerial perspective of the city’s iconic landmarks, including the vibrant Boca Juniors’ stadium and the historic La Casa Rosada. As you soar over the Lujan River, the lush landscapes of the Nordelta neighborhood and the sprawling shipyards come into view, painting a vivid picture of the region’s diverse beauty.

The helicopter tour is not just about the sights; it’s an experience that immerses you in the grandeur of Buenos Aires from above. The gentle hum of the helicopter, combined with the panoramic views, creates a serene yet exhilarating start to your day. As one reviewer noted on February 2, 2024, “The feeling of flying is incredible. We saw from the air the northern area of Bs As, Puerto Madero, La Boca, Caminito, El Obelisco, and the River and Boca court.” This unique perspective sets the tone for a day filled with exploration and discovery.

Embrace the Delta’s Serenity

After your aerial adventure, the afternoon beckons with the promise of tranquility and exploration on the Private Safari Delta. Available from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, this half-day tour invites you to navigate the serene waters of the Tigre Delta. As your small boat glides through the big river and meanders into the little streams, you’ll find yourself enveloped by the natural beauty of the area. The flexibility of this tour allows you to stop for a swim, enjoy a meal at a rustic bar, or simply bask in the peaceful surroundings.

The Delta is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper connection with nature. The UNESCO-protected areas offer a glimpse into the region’s rich biodiversity, with opportunities to spot various bird species and perhaps even indulge in a refreshing mud bath. A review from January 19, 2025, captures the essence of this experience: “The drive through the delta was very exciting, Lautaro gave us all the necessary and very detailed information about the way of life of the locals, the fauna and flora. The drive to Rio de la Plata was fabulous with the view of Buenos Aires and bathing in a side arm from the river very refreshing!”
