The waters of "Tigre" City.

Tigre is a city in the Buenos Aires Province, situated 28 km north of Buenos Aires. The city sits on an island created by several small streams and rivers and was founded in 1820. The area's name derives from the “tigres” or jaguars that were hunted there, on occasions, in its early years.
