Tour Options
Itinerary
The tour starts by an early morning pick-up from selected centrally located hotels at Buenos Aires.
In the morning we will arrive at the airport (Ezeiza or Aeroparque) to take our flight to Puerto Iguazú.
When you land after the 2-hour flight, meet your guide at Puerto Iguazu airport and board a private vehicle. Drive towards the waterfalls while your guide provides insight into the region's history.
After a 15 minutes driving, arrive at the new visitors center at the entrance of Iguazu National Park and skip the line with your reserved tickets.
First, go to the Nature Interpretation Center to learn more about the foundation of the park and its local flora and fauna.
Then, climb aboard the park train with your guide, stopping at the Cataratas Station after an 8 minute trip.
At midday, follow your guide to the food center and enjoy a little rest and lunch (own expense) before taking the train to the Garganta del Diablo Station, further into the forest.
Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) is the biggest fall in Iguazu, and the catwalks take you right on top of it! Be surprised and amazed by the strength and volume of water, which creates a permanent fog above the fall.
During your visit along the National Park you will enjoy the falls view of Dos Hermanas, Alvar Núñez, San Martín, Bosetti, el Peñón de la Bella Vista. From there you will have a panoramic view of Garganta del Diablo and Iguazú River Canyon, an unique experience of being part of that natural environment.
After spending a day being astonished by the park's many falls and discovering more about this natural treasure, your guide will take you back to the Puerto Iguazu Airport in a private vehicle to catch your flight back to Buenos Aires.
When you arrive at the Jorge Newbery Airpark or Ezeiza Airport, a private driver will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel.

Fantastic communications with confirmations, reminders and updates. Faultless execution of the tour from start to finish! Drivers, guides, hotel staff and tour agency staff were professional, personable, and helpful.
The experience was unique … it gave me the opportunity to visit the waterfalls In one day… extremely well organized … guide your knowledgeable and very attentive … do not skip the helicopter in the waterfalls…
We had a guide who has a great knowledge of the history of the country, is able to communicate in French, very appreciated
Our tour guide, Fabio, was fun and knowledgeable! With his itinerary suggestions for the day we were able to hike both upper and lower trails of Iguazu National Park (Argentina Side) and go on the boat tour which goes under the falls! The Devil’s throat trail that was damaged in 2023 was closed. Fabio suggested we go to the Brazil side of Iguazu Falls so we could see Devil’s throat water falls (additional fee). Our driver for the day was great and his car was clean! It was well worth the cost to have a private tour because it made it possible for us to do so much in one day and to be on our own schedule. The tour company should advise their clients that even though they are arranging the air transfers from your hotel and airplane tickets, that there will be no tour guide until you reach Iguazu Falls Airport. We had to make a name change on our airplane ticket at the airport and were told by the tour company that it could be done at the airport. The airport transfer car was not clean. The driver dropped us off with no other instructions. We tried to call the after hours emergency number for the travel agency and no one returned our call until AFTER we had resolved the issue on our own.
Our day started very early but the driver arrived on time and passage through the airport was unbelievably fast. Iguazu Falls were phenomenal and certainly lived up to expectations but you will walk so plenty of water and take it easy!! Our guide Augusto was excellent knowledgeable and set the pace accordingly to our wishes. Late flight back to Buenos Aires and pick up all went smoothly. A definite must do!!
My wife and I booked a cruise from Ushuaia to Santiago. We wanted to tour Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls but didn't know how to arrange this trip. We contacted Ripio Truismo for help planning this trip and were glad we did. Lucia Rubio helped us through some iterations to plan our trip. All of our transfers were on time with great drivers. The first day in Buenos Area we did a 3 hour walking tour. The 2nd day we did a 4 hour of the city including a wine tasting. In the evening we were treated to a wine and Tango show at La Ventana that was a highlight of our time in Buenos Aires. The next day we flew to Puerto Iguazu, Argentina and stayed at the Panoramic Grand Hotel which is located on a bluff above the Iguana River - great location. The next day we had a 1/2 day tour of Iguana Falls from the Brazilian side and then a tour of the Itiapu Dam between Brazil and Paraguay. This is the 2nd largest dam in the world. The next day we had a tour of the Argentinian side of the Falls and then flew back to Buenos Aires to catch our flight to Ushuaia the next morning. Our trip went like clockwork with great tour leaders and drivers. If you want to plan a trip the Buenos Aires, I would recommend using Ripio Truismo.
My husband and I had been looking forwrd to this excursion for nearly a year, but we felt it was extremely overpriced for what was delivered. The guide at the park was excellent, but we would not recommend booking through Viator or Tango. It would have been much less expensive to purchase the airfare, airport transfers and park entrance fees on our own. We understand the organizers have to get paid for their administrative time, but I would say this bordered on price gouging. Additionally, our experience was marred by bad weather and delayed flights (Obviously this was not under the control of the tour operator), the weather was rainy so we never got to the upper falls or some of the other trails. We did go to Devils Throat. We opted to take the boat ride under the falls and had to pay extra for that - we were quoted $50 each (so $100 total), but when the charge came through on our credit card it totaled $176! We contacted the tour operator (Tango) directly with our concerns and got a very generic “form letter” type response. Viator needs to vet these operators. FYI, I took a very good tour to the Grand Canyon last year that’s why I trusted Viator with this excursion, but It is unlikely that I will book with Viator again and I would definitely not recommend this tour to anyone.
This tour was part of our pre cruise Celebrity package . We were picked up at hotel by bus and guide and taken to falls. We spent the day there seeing spectacular falls and walking trails. We also did the boat excursions which took us under the falls. A must place to visit.
Dear We are glad you have selected Tangol for your visit to our country and sharing with us your experiences during your stay. We are pleased to know that you have enjoyed the beauties of Iguazu falls, one of the must-visit in our country. It will be a pleasure to assist you on your next visit! Regards
I do not recommend this tour company. We had a reservation for two that was cancelled the night before departure due to a flight cancellation. This was understandably unfortunate however what was absolutely frustrating was the fact that we were not given a full refund despite the fact that all arrangements including airfare were made by this tour operator.
Dear Pranay Patel, We are really sorry that your flight and tour were canceled. Unfortunately the departure flight was cancelled by the Latam airline, however the return flight was confirmed. As indicated in the terms and conditions of this tour, our company is not responsible for the cancellation policies of the airlines as their penalties are very strict. Although this tour has no refunds our reservation team made a great effort with the airline to obtain a refund. You received a partial refund for the transfers, guide and the one-way flight (the return flight was confirmed). On the other hand, you were not available to change the date of your tour, so in this case we see other alternatives with the airline and the traveler. We understand your dissatisfaction but the airlines have their own cancellation policies and we must adjust to them. We appreciate your comprehension and comments as it helps us improve the quality of our services. Kind regards, Tangol Travel Agency
If you are travelling alone, this is a fantastic tour to take! You are picked up at your hotel by a private driver. He makes sure you get to the right flight desk at the airport. Your guide is waiting at the Iguazu airport and stays with you until you are back in the correct line at the airport at the end of the day. My guide Tatyana was wonderful! She was very personable. She has been working in the park for a few years and was very knowledgeable on all things in the park. Not just the falls, but the animals, where the best place to see them was. The best views of the falls and even the vegetation, what were native plant, what were invasive plants. She was also very knowledgeable about the history of both the park and the people of the area. It is quite warm and humid there, so dress accordingly. Everything was absolutely perfect about this tour.
Thank you so much for sharing with us your experience in your tour. In this excursion we can see an important extract the beauties of Argentina. The Iguazu falls are a "must" when you come in our country! We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the knowledge of our guide. Your words make us very happy, and we really appreciate your time to write this review!
