Available Tour Options
When reserving, you can select from the options listed below:
Basic Tour
Please arrive approximately twenty minutes prior to your selected time to enter Iguazu National Park with your ticket. The adventure through the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls will commence from there.
Your journey begins in an off-road vehicle as we navigate through the jungle surrounding Yacaratiá Island, accompanied by a park guide who will share insights into the local flora and fauna. The expedition culminates at the dock of Puerto Macuco, where you'll board a speedboat for an exhilarating 6 km (3.7 mi) ride through the rapids of the Iguazu River. Prepare for an unforgettable experience!
From the boat, you will witness the beauty of the Iguazu Falls. Your voyage will lead us to the Tres Mosqueteros Falls, offering a unique vantage point of both the Argentinian and Brazilian cascades. The impressive San Martin Falls, the second tallest in the park, boasts a striking drop of 80 m (262 ft).
After the boat excursion, a brief walk of approximately 300 m (984 ft) of stairs will take us back to the vessel at Puerto Macuco, and we will return to the Iguazu National Park reception.
Note: This option covers only entry fees and a dedicated guide for the Iguazu Falls experience.
Tour with Hotel Pickup
Your day begins between 7 am and 8 am with a pickup from your hotel in Foz de Iguazú, before proceeding to Iguazú National Park for a tour similar to the standard version. Following the exhilarating boat ride, you’ll have some leisure time for lunch or rest before continuing your exploration. Once you’re refreshed, we will delve deeper into the Argentine side of the Iguazú Falls along its scenic trails.
We will traverse the Upper Circuit and the Lower Circuit. These paths present incredible views of the falls both from above and close-up, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of their grandeur.
