Rosario Boat Tours

 

The first time I visited Rosario I decided that I want to see it from another angle, see the city from another perspective. So I decide to explore Rosario on a boat. The city has the Paraná River as one of its main protagonists. It is really shocking to navigate the River, explore the islands of the Delta, watching its flora, fauna and the life of the locals. Learn about places and new stories. Great panoramic views of Rosario are obtained in addition from the boat.

While from the Estación Fluvial there are several types of boats to perform tours on the River, I choose the boat “Ciudad de Rosario 1 °”. This ship, more popularly known as “The boat of the city”, is recognized for its career. It was the first tourist passenger ship built in Rosario and, due to its characteristics, the only one in its kind in Argentina.

The ship sails calm along the coasts of the Alto Paraná Delta and a guide explains particularities of these islands, and their stories, the ways of life of its inhabitants and beautiful places and landscapes. The guide explains in a funny way and makes the ride not only a tourist tour but also an educational tour.

On the journey you will reach the Rosario Victoria bridge to learn more about this great work of engineering. Once in front of the North of Rosario we return along the waterfront of Rosario. In approximately two hours of navigation you will enjoy the different views and landscapes of the city.
