Activity description
Explore the majestic beauty of Iguazu Falls
Discover the imposing Iguazu Falls, a unique natural wonder in the heart of Iguazu National Park, just 20 kilometers from Puerto Iguazú, north of the province of Misiones, Argentina. These waters originate in the state of Paraná, Brazil, and travel more than 1,200 kilometers, fed by tributaries that join together to create a unique spectacle. After a calm course, the river transforms: a geological fault interrupts the plain, and suddenly, a drop of about 80 meters offers a dizzying and overwhelming experience at Devil's Throat, the most impressive waterfall, where the deafening roar of the water dominates the landscape.
Unmissable tours to explore the Falls
Devil's Throat
Prepare for a magical and overwhelming experience. From the Garganta del Diablo station, a charming train ride will take you to the beginning of a walkway that will take you closer to this majestic waterfall. An accessible, staircase-free 2,000-meter route will guide you to a panoramic viewpoint where the force of nature unfolds before you in all its splendor. Duration: 2 hours.
Upper Circuit
This hike offers a complete and incredible view of the falls from above, with a 1,750-meter route between walkways and six viewpoints. The peace and energy of the jungle accompany the panoramic view of the Iguaçu River Delta, creating a perfect environment for relaxing surrounded by nature. Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes, highly accessible.
Lower Circuit
Dive into the heart of the falls with this 1,800-meter trail, where you'll find yourself beneath the falls. This more intimate circuit allows you to feel the power of the jungle: the sounds, the humid air, and the vibrant steam that will envelop you. Here, each step is a deeper connection with the essence of this natural paradise. Duration: 2 hours, medium accessibility.
4x4 Tour
You'll board a 4x4 truck and travel 8 kilometers along the Yacaratiá trails. The tour continues with a 100-meter descent via stairs, culminating at the base of the Puerto Macuco jungle, arriving at the floating dock to board the semi-rigid rubber boat.
Fast
This nautical adventure continues; now wearing life jackets, we sail 6 km toward the Iguaçu River Canyon, keeping the falls in sight. In the last 2 km, you cross the rapids of the Iguaçu River to reach the waterfalls, enjoying every leap the boat makes. At the end of the thrilling descent, we stop to admire the falls at a bend near San Martin Island. Time for a photo. Once again, we hold our breath; we move closer to the base of the Tres Mosqueteros Falls, from which we see the complex of Brazilian and Argentine falls, with Devil's Throat crowning the view of the Canyon. The roar of the falls increases as the boat advances.
