Highlights
  • Puerto Iguazu - After being picked up at your hotel in Puerto Iguazu or Foz de Iguazu, head towards the Visitors Center at the Iguazu Falls Gate, on board a comfortable private vehicle, along with your guide.

Once at the Visitors Center, walk to the Natures Interpretation Center and get a first look at Iguazu’s history.

  • Cataratas del Iguazu - Lado Argentino - Then, hop on the train that goes to the Iguazu Falls Station (first stop) in about 8 minutes or take a short walk through the Green Trail, leading to the beginning of the path towards the Upper and Lower trails of the Iguazu Falls.
  • Parque Nacional Iguazu - Then, go back to the train station and take the train to get to the Upper Circuit and visit the 2nd part of this incredible journey. Around 2,400 feet (800 meters) of path and gateways will take you into the forest, wandering above the falls, giving the best views of the entire falls. During this one hour circuit, pass by Dos Hermanas, Bosetti, Bernabe Mendez, M’Bigua falls, among others.

Once you are back to the Iguazu Falls Station, have lunch and take time to relax in one of the restaurants.

  • Garganta del Diablo - Otherwise, take the train to its last stop, the Garganta Station, where the biggest fall of the Iguazu Falls is located.

In this Sub-Tropical Forest tour, the great variety of ferns, orchids, begonias, birds and butterflies can be observed, as well as the diversity of native species living in the Park.

Once at the Devil’s Throat Station, after an 18-minute ride by train, walk along the catwalks while enjoying the natural and wonderful scenery around you. Take time to observe as might see small caiman and local birds, lizards and insects. Keep walking along the 3600 feet (1,200 meters) of catwalks until arriving on top of the biggest Fall, called the Devil’s Throat.

  • Gran Aventura - Then, walk towards the Lower Circuit on the catwalks, lifted above the water and ground, offering a view from the Base of Dos Hermanas, Alvar Nunez, San Martin, Salto Bosetti and Bella Vista rock. Be impressed by the panoramic view of the Devil’s Throat. From there, if you booked the Nautical Adventure Experience, get on board a semi-rigid zodiac that will take you under the waterfalls, giving a whole new perspective of this force of nature. During this 1-hour boat ride, appreciate the scenery and then, back on land, hop on a Movie Truck driving you through the jungle towards the Visitors Center.

Once you’ve visited all the circuits, get back to the entrance with your guide where your vehicles will be waiting to take you back to your hotels.

  • Puerto Iguazu - When you finish visiting the falls, we will get back to Puerto Iguazu and take you to your hotel in the city.

Go for it - Whole trip was a joy. Absolutely must to see the falls. I wasn’t sure about doing the boat ride but we were so glad we did. You really get a sense of the power of the water especially on the rib. Not a sedate ride an absolute thrill. You also get a great and completely different view of them. Go for it.

Friendly and informative guide - Gill was a very friendly guide and very patient with the elderly members of our group when they needed rest stops along the walks. He gave us lots of information about the falls and the animals. A great day out - thank you!

Disappointing! - Guide was inexperienced, spoke poor English, had a very limited vocabulary and gave little information about Iguazu Falls. When we asked questions of her, she gave minimal responses. Since this was a once in a lifetime visit, we were disappointed with our excursion.

minimal value add over self-guiding - I don't see the point of this tour - the guide was nice but he spoke little english and did little for us that we couldn't have done on our own - we learned very little from him - he walked us around the park but we could have done that on our own - very disappointing given the very high cost

Horrible experience - We didn't get to do boat ride. Everything was messed up. No one picked us up at airport, then tried to say we were supposed to be at hotel when I had called Viator over a dozen times to confirm provider knew to pick up at IGR. Then told us they went to airport in Brazil versus Argentina. So did not get any of original tour booked and paid for, need refund!
