The short answer
Mitre trains connect Tigre with Retiro. Tren de la Costa is a separate Av. Maipú to Delta service. Delta boats leave from the fluvial terminal at Mitre 305, with different operators and destination docks. Your complete journey depends on the service, the street or dock at home, and current departures. Test it at the hours you expect to travel.
- Choose the correct service and terminal.
- Check current notices for your travel date.
- Confirm the island dock and return boat.
