About this experience

We invite you to take an unforgettable tour where you will not only observe the 275 falls of the Iguazu National Park, but also get to know the fauna on the Brazilian side in its general area and in the Bird Park (Parque das Aves) itself, a zoo specialized in the conservation of various species of both native and exotic birds.

Inside the reserve, we will find rare and very colorful tropical birds flying over large nurseries mixed with a lush subtropical forest, and during the tour we will be able to enter these nurseries to get to know them up close. Besides them, we will meet boas, anacondas, yacarés, marmoset monkeys, butterflies and much more!

Detailed itinerary

Our tour begins by departing from the passengers` hotels to go to the Tourist Assistance Center to buy the entrance tickets to the park.

(You might need a visa to cross the Brazilian border if you are staying in Argentina).

When we arrive at the Visitor Center, we’ll kick off the trip around the park by leading you to one of the tour cars.

We’ll then drive to the main paths which stretch over 1,200m of the park and sit above the Iguazu river. From here, you’ll get a panoramic view of the Argentine side of the falls: the perfect spot to take some photos.

Continuing along this route, you’ll get to see the Cañón del Río Iguazú, Salto Rivadavia, Tres Mosqueteros and many others. Towards the end of the route, you’ll also see the lower part of the river and the impressive Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Gorge). The walkway ends beside Salto Floriano, from where you can take either a number of stairs or an elevator straight down to the car park or up to shops and restaurants.

The Bird Park is close to the Iguaçu National Park, which facilitates the movement and reduces the transportation time. Upon arriving there, we will travel through several trails inside the park to observe and interact with the local nature.

The Bird Park is a unique place, counting more than 200 animal species, many rescued from illegal traffic. The main idea is to make a Sanctuary for engendered species. Hosting the biggest Araras (Macaws) Sanctuary in South America, the Bird Park offers safe spaces for visitors to enter and observe the birds from very close and in liberty. Living in wide Vivarium, the birds can fly free and visitors can enter the vivarium without bothering the animals. Also hosting some anacondas, boas, crocodiles, Titi monkeys and special butterflies, the park makes the visitor's delights and awakens it curiosity. Walk along the paths, entering vivariums and temples, learning more about each and every species living in the Sanctuary.
