    It was a more than pleasant experience with my partner, although it made us a bit dizzy to be on a boat for so long. Recommended to do it once.

    Sailing through the Delta was a wonderful experience, I don't know of a place like it that is located so close to a city. It is a trip that everyone should do if they travel to Buenos Aires. More than recommended.
