About this experience

The natural canyon, from which the Iguazu River flows, consists of 275 cascades - and this number is considered a record on the planet! The national park itself is so large and intricate that it is easy to get lost in it, losing a lot of time and missing out on many beautiful places and views. I can navigate here with my eyes closed, so with me you can be sure that the “maximum program” will be fulfilled, and the impressions will become a real decoration of your trip to Latin America.
