Highlights
  • Iguazu Falls - This incredible tour offers an unforgettable view formed by the immense group of waterfalls of Foz do Iguaçu. Once inside the park, the van or bus will drive until you reach the trails and walkways that face the falls. We will walk from 40 minutes to 1 hour on the trails and walkways facing the falls on the Brazilian side and with panoramic views of the Argentine side.

After the pick up at your hotel, get ready for spectacular landscapes.

Nothing in the world of water compares to, or is more impressive than the natural spectacle provided by the stunning group of 275 waterfalls that make up the Iguassu Waterfalls.

Located a few kilometers from the union of the Iguassu River with the Paraná River, the waterfalls takes you to a state of awe with their size, water flow and strong current.

The geologic change that gave birth to the Iguassu Waterfalls took place nearly 150 million years ago and shook the earth crust around the globe. At the Iguassu region those changes created a gigantic canyon, full of rock steps through which the grand Iguassu flows, producing a huge steam cloud and a deafening sound.

The average flow of the Waterfalls is around 1.800 m3 per second, for an average amount of 10 million liters per second. During the rain season, the stream of the Iguassu River increases and shows an even more beautiful spectacle.

The biggest waterfall is the “Devils Throat”, which is 90 meters high. The volume of water poured down creates a cloud of drizzling water that can be watched from kilometers away.

Panoramic Helicopter Flight - 10 minutes approximately:

You will also have a thrilling, informative helicopter flight that gives a completely different and unique perspective of the spectacular waterfalls.

Brazil Side Above and in the Falls - The Brazilian side has lots of awesome views, the helicopter ride was very scenic, everybody had a window seat, was able to bet some good photos, the Safari was nice lots of different birds to see, the boat ride was by far the best, it was a blast, and they drove into the Falls and got everyone soaking wet, it was so much fun, Mauricio was a great tour guide., He was very attentive and explained everything that was going on and the order we were going to do things he was very accommodating did not rush us, He pretty much walked us through everything we needed to do and was super helpful

Would highly recommend this excursion and Eleni!! - Had a wonderful day with our guide Eleni who was very helpful, kind, knowledgeable and enjoyable at all times. The falls from the Brazilian side are beyond gorgeous. The helicopter ride, river boat ride and bird park made great memories.

Once in a lifetime experience - If you visit South America and don't come to Iguassu you will come to regret it , big time. Definitely worth at least 2days in your schedule as the experience cannot be replicated anywhere Extremely high value , close proximity and time saving of these 3 activities plus the ' oh my God falls', is simple a no- brainer MUST if you are aware of this secret gift from the gods.My only regret was out of ignorance- should have seen the 2nd largest dam in the world at night.

Perfeito!!!! 🎉 - João Pedro was awesome! His English was very strong and we had no trouble communicating with him. He did an awesome job of giving us space and time to explore on our own while remaining at hand and attentive. His service was above and beyond. I was recovering from a cold and he was very patient with me. He also went above and beyond to book us dinner at a restaurant we had been trying to get into but weren’t sure how to. He also had the park ranger stamp our passports. The falls, the helicopter ride, and the. Oat ride were amazing but Joao Pedro make the experience one-of-a-kind!!! Would highly recommend this tour and Joao Pedro!!!
