Itinerary
Transfer from the Iguazu Airport to the hotel.
Brazilian side of the falls – Approximately 5hours.
Today, you will ride an elevator down to the bottom of the falls, stopping just above the water level. Then, you will cross a 1000 meter footbridge, stopping at different vantage points to soak in the majesty of Iguazu Falls. This tropical rainforest attraction is located on the far western side of the Parana River, in Iguazu National Park, an UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site for being one of South America’s largest forest reserves and a habitat to an immense diversity of wildlife.

Argentinean side of the Falls - Approximately 6 – 7 hours
With a total area of 55,500 ha, Iguazu National Park is named after the river that marks its northern boundary. There, in the midst of a lush sub-tropical jungle, is majestic Iguazu Falls, one of the planet’s largest and most spectacular on account of the river’s powerful flow and its more than 275 drops. You will venture into the midst of its drops and falls, following a pathway of raised footbridges, thereby being able to appreciate this wonder from many different angles. The lower circuit puts you so close to the water that you will feel a part of nature and the constant mist will cool you off. At the top circuit, you will stop at different lookouts, climbing until you reach the incredible “Garganta del Diablo”, Devil’s Throat, undoubtedly the most spectacular of all the falls, whose waters drop more than 80 meters.
Option 1: River adventure – 12 minutes (Argentina)
Your river adventure begins at the docks located at
the end of the lower circuit, across from San Martin Island, where a powerful
speed boat await to take you into the lower canyon of the Iguazu River and to
circle the island until you reach the base of Tres Mosqueteros Drop, where you
will be able to see drops on both the Brazilian and Argentine side, as well as
the Garganta del Diablo. The icing on the cake is a visit to the Argentine side
of the falls, where you will “baptized” at the bottom of the San Martin Drop,
the largest a boat can approach.
Difficulty: 100m staircase.
Option 2: The Great Adventure – 1 hour (Argentina)
In a ride that combines rainforest and falls, you will
enter the lush jungle vegetation in trucks accompanied by experimented guides.
After the ride, you will walk to the docks to board a boat that will take you
to the lower Iguazu River. As you shoot the rapids, you will get a great view
of the drops from the haven of San Martin Island to Tres Mosqueteros Drop,
including a panoramic view of the Garganta del Diablo. The boat will then
circle the island until reaching the most exciting part of the trip: San Martin
Drop, the largest a boat can approach.
