Description
Day 1:
Reception at Puerto Iguazú airport and transfer to the hotel. Accommodation.
Day 2:
Argentine Waterfalls: An immersive journey into the lush subtropical rainforest of northern Argentina, where waterfalls plunge through jungle canyons in a spectacle of sound and mist—at the heart of it all, the majestic Iguazú Falls, recognized as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
The day begins with hotel pickup and transfer to the Iguazu National Park. Once inside the protected area, access to the main trails is aboard the Rainforest Train, an eco-friendly railway that winds through dense jungle and along the river. The train has two stops: Cataratas (Falls) and Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat). The latter, located at the far end of the circuit, leads to a newly built walkway—about 0.6 miles (1,000 meters) long—that weaves between islands and ends in panoramic balconies directly above the roaring Devil’s Throat. The path is flat and accessible, with no stairs.
From the Cataratas stop, two circuits branch out: the Upper Trail and the Lower Trail. While the order may vary, it’s typical to begin with the upper loop. Throughout the experience, a specialized guide accompanies the group, offering insights into the region’s flora, fauna, and topography.
Upper Trail
This elevated walkway spans 0.7 miles (1,100 meters) round-trip and includes no stairs. From above, it offers sweeping views of the main waterfalls and the lush river delta below, dotted with forested islands. It is the easiest of the park’s traditional circuits.
Lower Trail
A circular path of 0.75 miles (1,200 meters), this route offers close-up views of multiple falls from various angles: head-on, below, and sometimes right beside them. Adventurous visitors may even choose to step into the spray of the Bossetti Fall. This trail also ventures deeper into the jungle but includes numerous staircases—equivalent to climbing an eight-story building in total.
From this point, the optional Gran Aventura (Great Adventure) departs: a boat and jungle safari for those seeking a more adrenaline-fueled encounter. Participants rejoin the main group later at the park entrance.
Note: There is free time for a midday break. Visitors may stop for lunch at the park’s food court or bring their own meal.
Day 3:
The Brazilian Falls and Birds Park: This outing is shorter than the Argentine side excursion, as the Brazilian park features a single panoramic trail that offers a sweeping frontal view of the entire Falls system.
From this vantage point, most of the Argentine waterfalls can be seen, along with a lateral view of the powerful Devil’s Throat. The four main waterfalls on the Brazilian side—Benjamín Constant, Deodoro, Floriano, and Santa María—are also visible along the trail.
The tour concludes with a visit to the Bird's Park (Parque das Aves), one of Brazil’s leading wildlife sanctuaries, home to more than 300 bird species native to South America. Nestled in a preserved section of the rainforest, the park features immersive aviaries where toucans, macaws, parrots, and other exotic species move freely through spacious environments, allowing for a close and respectful encounter with regional biodiversity.
Important Notes:
- Includes a lunch stop (meal not included).
- Entry requirements for Brazil differ from those in Argentina. Please check visa eligibility.
- Valid personal identification is required for border crossing and customs formalities.
