1. PUERTO DE FRUTOS This used to be Tigre Harbour. Its name reminds that in this area islanders disembarked and sold the fruit they grew on the Delta. Nowadays, Puerto de Frutos has an outdoor Fruit Craft Market where visitors can buy local produce such as jellies, liquors and preserves and crafts made of wicker, cane and wood. In some stalls visitors can see artisans making crafts with wicker and cane. It also features a wide range of dining options with local and international cuisine. The area has three different docks where visitors can see typical Delta boats. From the first dock, at the end of Sarmiento Street, there are daily departures of river tours. By the central dock grocery boats (which supply Delta inhabitants with different kind of products) and National Coast Guard boats can be seen. There are also special boats rented for material transportation or house removals to the Delta. From this dock there are also river tours departing at weekends. In the last dock visitors can see the unload of willow and poplar logs brought from the Delta by special boats called 'chatas' . This wood is used to make chests for fruit and disposable wooden containers.
