Highlights
- Iguazu Falls - Leave Foz do Iguaçu behind and head into Iguacu National Park. One of the most incredible natural wonders on the planet, Iguassu is taller than Niagara Falls – and twice as wide – and consists of 275 cascading falls spread out over nearly 2 miles (3.2 km) in a horseshoe shape. The average flow of the waterfalls amounts to approximately 2.6 million gallons (10 million liters) per second.
One of Iguassu’s most famous features, Devil´s Throat is the largest waterfall in the region and is best seen from the Brazilian side. Here, you’ll watch as 14 falls drop 350 feet (107 meters) with such force that a 100-foot (30-meter) tall cloud of mist stays permanently suspended overhead. This is the area famous for rainbows, and great photo opportunities abound!
For a close-up view of the falls, you can walk through the subtropical forest of Iguacu National Park to the base of Salto Floriano. Here, you can take the elevator to the top of the falls, or walk out over the falls at Salto Union.
But if the brazilian side is not enough for you and you are interested in a different perspective of the Iguassu Falls, try the option with the argentine side included!

Great tour, guide, and driver. - This 8 hour tour included both the Argentine side and Brazil side of the falls. I strongly recommend doing both sides. The Argentine side shows the immensity of the falls while the Brazil side shows the power and volume of the water going over the falls. Roberto, our guide was very knowledgeable about the falls, Flora and fauna. Also, he listened carefully, answered all questions, and worked hard to ensure we had the best experience possible. He and the driver worked very well as a team. I highly recommend this tour and Roberto

Both sides are great but different - I wondered whether it would really be worth doing both sides of the Iguaza falls. Surely one side is enough! No. Both sides are worth doing for different reasons. Our guide said that Argentina is the stage and Brazil is the show. I thinks that’s right. So do both.

The tour guide Ms.Silvana was great and informative. She was always there to assist us in everything we needed. <br/>
And when you finally get to see the falls I recommend to do the WET boat tour in order to really enjoy the experience of the falls. Adrenaline rush! A must do!</p>

Iguassu falls are more beautiful... - <p>Iguassu falls are more beautiful than Niagara falls in my opinion. For me the most beautiful of all the waterfalls I have seen. Very green and lush and the panoramic view is absolutely outstanding. You really have to look at the falls from both Argentina side and Brazil side to understand the magnitude of it. <br/>
Bird Park could be added, but all of the passengers on the bus including me already had visited so we all went back to hotel and took it as true half day tour. <br/>
I was the only English speaking tourist there and all were Brazilian, but the guide could speak good English. Luckily there was one young man, Ivan, who could speak English very well and wanted to practice with me, so we were buddy for the trip.<br/>
Warning to English speaking folks: it is not easy to find someone who speaks English in Brazil...be ready to use body language.</p>
<p>On the side of Viator's performance, you guys mixed up my hotel pick up spot for another tour The Argentina side. For this trip I called ahead so I was able to rearrange the pick up spot.</p>

This was probably the most... - <p>This was probably the most disappointing of all our South American tours. Our guide spoke extensively in Spanish and then at the end, would offer a single sentence in English. We felt we were missing a lot. At the Falls walkway, were were basically dropped off, but were clearly told where to meet and when at least. There was no commentary along the 1hr. plus walk. <br/>
Once we left, he offered us the chance to stop at the Bird Aviary on the way back to the hotel promising us to get back by 2:30.<br/>
The Bird Sanctuary was worth the added expense, but when it was time to leave, he kept delaying as he wanted the others to get pictures taken, etc...Kickback?? We finally insisted on leaving and he begrudgingly made a separate trip to get us back to our nearby hotel. We arrived 30 minutes later than he'd promised, and we were concerned as we had transportation coming for our flight that evening to Rio de Janiero. It all worked out, but it was not what we'd expected from the tour.</p>

They didn't pick me from location and after my call they came took me to the bus station and I had to proceed with the tour alone , also because they ignored my calls and whats app msgs I had to take a taxi back to hotel.</p>

Not sure if she wants to make extra money or what!!! Could be better off arranging own transport</p>
