Detailed itinerary

After pick-up at your hotel, you will be driven to the world-famous Iguazu National Park, located on the Argentine side of the falls. You will be accompanied by a local specialized guide, who will help you spot some wildlife of the surrounding subtropical forest: toucans, parrots and coatis, just to name a few!

Iguazu Falls are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in South America and the world. These 275 waterfalls were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Upon arrival at the National Park, you will show your entrance ticket and enter the park (entrance fee not included). The innumerable footbridges will allow you to get close to the waterfalls until your face gets softly wet.

Stop 3

Next up, ride on an ecological train through the Iguazu rainforest to access the viewing platform that overlooks the impressive Devil’s Throat, the most important and most imposing waterfall of all. You will not cease to be amazed by the force of millions of litres of water falling at different heights! ** In case there are many people in the train to go to The Devil’s Throat, you will try to go first to less crowded places.

Stop 4

After touring “Garganta del Diablo” (Devil’s Throat), you will continue to explore the walkways of either the lower or the upper circuit. Both of them are sure to impress you: The LOWER CIRCUIT, feature a more intimate experience with nature as you walk right into the forest to the heart of the falls, you will be able to feel the “spirit” of the jungle; its humidity, sounds and aromas. The UPPER CIRCUIT provides magnificent panoramic views from the top of the falls. This circuit is the perfect place to kick back and relax with the sound of water in the background and sunlight on your skin. The elevated walkways will take you over the drop line of several of the main jumps.

Are you hungry? You will have some free time to have lunch (lunch not included).
