A local guide will guide us through the different corners of this Park, helping us to see the fauna and flora, in addition to accompany us to all the viewpoints and telling us the history of the place. The trails, which traverse different parts of the 210-square-mile reserve, offer visitors different viewpoints of the park. Approaching and moving away- and even getting soaked, with the falls, and the different waterfalls that compose it.

From the Salto Dos Hermanas to the largest, the Garganta del Diablo, we will be amazed by the force of millions of liters of water falling from different heights.

The ecological train trip is included in the tour and allows us to access different parts of the park, saving our energy for the viewpoints. In the afternoon, we will get back to the hotel.

This exciting excursion is highly recommended to experience the power of the Iguazu Falls. (Keep in mind that during the boat trip there is a 100% probability of getting soaked, since the falls offer a refreshing "natural shower”, make sure that you bring some extra clothes if you want to do this excursion.)
