Detailed itinerary

The tour starts by an early morning pick-up from selected centrally located hotels at Buenos Aires.

In the morning we will arrive at the airport (Ezeiza or Aeroparque) to take our flight to Puerto Iguazú.

When you land after the 2-hour flight, meet your guide at Puerto Iguazu airport and board a private vehicle. Drive towards the waterfalls while your guide provides insight into the region's history.

After a 15 minutes driving, arrive at the new visitors center at the entrance of Iguazu National Park and skip the line with your reserved tickets.

First, go to the Nature Interpretation Center to learn more about the foundation of the park and its local flora and fauna.

Then, climb aboard the park train with your guide, stopping at the Cataratas Station after an 8 minute trip.

At midday, follow your guide to the food center and enjoy a little rest and lunch (own expense) before taking the train to the Garganta del Diablo Station, further into the forest.

Stop 8

Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) is the biggest fall in Iguazu, and the catwalks take you right on top of it! Be surprised and amazed by the strength and volume of water, which creates a permanent fog above the fall.

During your visit along the National Park you will enjoy the falls view of Dos Hermanas, Alvar Núñez, San Martín, Bosetti, el Peñón de la Bella Vista. From there you will have a panoramic view of Garganta del Diablo and Iguazú River Canyon, an unique experience of being part of that natural environment.

After spending a day being astonished by the park's many falls and discovering more about this natural treasure, your guide will take you back to the Puerto Iguazu Airport in a private vehicle to catch your flight back to Buenos Aires.

When you arrive at the Jorge Newbery Airpark or Ezeiza Airport, a private driver will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel.
