Puerto de Frutos

It is a very nice local attraction for a day trip from Buenos Aires, my friend and I really enjoyed the river cruise and the local cuisine and coffeehouses! Cheers!

This is a very beautiful place with lots of stuff available for tourists. Unfortunately it rained all day when I visited. There are lots fun stuff you can do nearby at the park.

We stopped by the semi open air market place / shopping mall on our way to a tour of the Tigre Delta. There were one or two interesting shops with things we could never pack, but in general, our idea of touring doesn't involve any shopping so this was not a highlight for us. For others on the tour, it was like a shoppers paradise with all sorts of touristy things. We enjoyed walking around and looking at the working ships at the docks.

Always is a pleasure visiting this area. All you need to make your house a home is right here. Mostly hand made products with exquisite price.

Sept.25: We wanted to visit the fruit market (Tuesday), unfortunately everything was closed. Seemed only open Thursday till Sunday, Monday to Wednesday closed.

Cool but I expected more. Its insanely big and lively BUT the variety is awful I felt like I kept walking past the same shop just branded differently. Plus it was hard to find local artisanal shops.. most seemed to sell imported goods.. which is not what I was looking for. However I would still give it a chance as it is very unique and pretty since its along the river ! BTW book a boat tour of the surrounding area its very interesting and relaxing (:

The Puerto de Frutos in the Tigre area of Buenos Aires is an amazing destination to explore local culture and art. This market is filled with intriguing shops offering handmade and local products, such as art, food, handcrafted decor items, and much more. The atmosphere is notably lively and vibrant, with the colorful market attracting both locals and travelers. It's a place to wander, discover unique pieces, and feel the authentic vibe of the region. Whether you're looking for gifts or simply embarking on an adventurous discovery, the Puerto de Frutos provides a distinct experience that mirrors the cultural diversity of the area.

Nice place with several options for shopping (home decoration, clothes, etc.). This is one the highlights when visiting Tigre and jt is also very close to the Casino, so visitors can do both attractions in sequence. It was busy when I was there, but nothing out of normality so it was pretty enjoyable. If you want to pay less for food though, go somewhere else nearby.

No visit to Tigre is complete without a walk through the Puerto de Frutos. This is a huge semi open air shopping market that surrounds the riverfront and is full of endless rows of stores and food vendors. This market is actually made of several buildings as well as outdoor areas. The food options were mainly grab and go places that are more suitable for trying different snacks. You'll be able to find any and all kinds of souvenirs here. If shopping is not your thing, then you will not enjoy this place. If you do like browsing and people watching, this is just the place. One thing to keep in mind is that most of the goods here are imported, so if you're looking for local handmade artisanal crafts, this is not that sort of place.

Visiting on a weekday was too quiet. I sorta expected that but couldn't fit the day trip into my weekend. The market had both open air and covered stalls. Most of the chain restaurants were open like Mostaza (hamburgers) but few stalls (wooden toys, souvenirs). Closer to the water there were booths you could book a cruise but I walked over to Estacion Fluvial for more choices. Overall I didn't expect it to be so empty but it's perfect if you want to avoid the weekend crowds.

Nice place to shop for handicrafts and local treats. Puerto de Frutos was where the local fruits and vegetables were brought from the Parana Delta to later be sold in markets in Buenos Aires. This market was an active produce market until the mid-twentieth century. Today, the stalls and shops are still filled with treats and treasures. Cut flowers. Traditional and rustic furniture. Hammocks. Purses. Leather belts. Cheeses. Jellies. Pickles. Wicker baskets. Loved looking through the stacks of beautifully hand woven wicker baskets. This would be a perfect place to buy a basket or two. Walk behind the market to the water. This is where the barges and boats would have docked to sell their wares and bring back goods to the residents of the Delta. Interesting to see the boats filled with beer and soda, large containers filled with fresh drinking water, coal and gasoline to take back to the local residents of the Delta today.

Lots of shopping right here on the riverport docks. You won't get harassed as much as you might in the center city street shopping. However, as this appears still touristy, the prices seem a little bit higher. But both the shop employees and the general clientele are much more relaxed and easy to be around. This is also the launching point for several river delta tours by boat. Highly recommend taking one of those tours. We used Natventure, but there are countless others. There are also several restaurants for a relaxing day by the water. Grab some empanadas before or after your boat ride, then digest with a walk around the area. If you're a tourist in Buenos Aires, this is a great place to get out to for a relief from the crowds.
