Delta of Tigre River and Capture of Eichmann - Private tour
Tour Overview
This 6-hour excursion combines a scenic 1.5-hour catamaran navigation through the intricate waterways of the Tigre Delta with a powerful historic journey. We will delve into a pivotal chapter of modern history: the 1960 capture of Adolf Eichmann by Israeli intelligence (Mossad) on Garibaldi Street in San Fernando. As the chief architect of the Final Solution, Eichmann fled post-WWII Europe to hide in Argentina. Visiting the site of his former residence offers a profound moment of reflection, honoring memory and ensuring the atrocities of the past are never forgotten. Our itinerary also features a visit to the nearby Club Náutico Hacoaj, founded in 1935 as a Jewish rowing club in response to social exclusion. Today, it stands as a world-class training ground for Olympic and Maccabiah athletes, embodying the strength and resilience of the local community. Join us for an emotionally resonant journey that seamlessly weaves the natural beauty of the Delta with lessons of historical memory.
