Iguaçu Falls: Argentinan & Brazilian Sides
Day Trip Details
Would you like to see the Iguaçu Falls in their entirety? If so, at the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Foz de Iguaçu. Once we're ready, we'll begin our journey to the Argentinian side of the impressive waterfalls.
Upon arrival and after passing through the immigration formalities, we'll set out on the upper trail, a footbridge over the Iguaçu River that will allow us to observe the falls from above. Along this stretch, we'll have ample views of the waterfalls and the endless green that surrounds them. Camera at the ready? You'll definitely want to capture the magnitude of the overwhelming landscape.
After this first part, we'll head back down to the base of the waterfalls. Here, we'll feel the force of the water, and we might even get wet from the breeze that rises from the precipitation. We'll pass through the Devil's Throat, one of the most breathtaking points where the environment seems to take on a life of its own. Next, we'll then board the ecological train and ride through the park to the last station.
After the train ride, we'll take just over a 1-kilomtre-long (0.6-mile) walk to the viewpoint of the tallest waterfall in the Argentinian park of the Iguaçu Falls.
When we start feeling peckish, we'll give you free time to enjoy lunch in the park's “La Selva” restaurant. Next, feeling refuelled, we'll get back on the vehicle to head to the border and cross over to the Brazilian side of the Iguaçu Falls. From this side, we'll have panoramic views from another angle as we take about a 2.5-hour hike along the natural path.
At the end of our hike, we'll hop onto the park's bus to reach the Trilha das Cataratas station, where we'll head out on a second walking route to the main viewpoint. There, we'll have a frontal view of the Devil's Throat and the panoramic view of the river before our eyes. As if this weren't enough, we'll go up the panoramic lift to put the perfect finishing touch to the tour of the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls.
If you're up for it and you still have some energy, you'll have the option to take an off-roading tour and a boat ride on the Lajeado Macuco River. If you choose not to take part in these activities, you'll have between 2 and 4 hours of free time to explore the park at your leisure—you'll love it!
Finally, we'll make our way back to the hotel, stopping at the visitor centre where you can get yourself a snack or a drink. We'll say goodbye after a total of 11 hours.

Frequently asked questions
-
Q - How can I purchase the tickets that are not included?
A - To purchase the tickets, you have three alternatives: 1. Purchase at any time: you can choose the time you want. Although it does not coincide exactly with the tour time, you can access it without any problems, as you'll be accompanied by a guide. The national parks give priority to guided groups. 2. Purchase directly with the guide: the price is exactly the same, and it will be easier, as you'll avoid filling out information and worrying about the process. 3. Purchase at the park's ticket booth: you can also purchase the tickets on-site. As you'll be with a guide, you'll have priority and you will not have difficulties entering.
