Paddling near Quilmes, Buenos Aires

Quilmes sits on the southwestern shore of the Río de la Plata, the vast estuary that defines paddling in this part of greater Buenos Aires. The broad, shallow waters of the Plata are the dominant feature for local kayakers and SUP paddlers, while the nearby Tigre Delta — roughly an hour north — draws those wanting to explore a labyrinth of rivers, streams, and islands by kayak or canoe.
