Itinerary
In 1985 Argentina's national park was declared a World Heritage Site. Brazil's national park followed a year later and since 2012 the Iguassu Falls have been one of the seven natural wonders of the world, where millions of visitors are enchanted by this natural beauty every year. In the midst of the subtropical rainforest, various hiking trails and footbridges have been developed in the upper course of the river, where you are guided step by step through this natural spectacle. Today it is not uncommon, thanks to the conservation program “projeto carnívoro”, aimed at preserving endangered predators, that the number of jaguars has increased significantly and they are often sighted in the parks. The Fauna&Flora of Iguassu is home to over 76 mammals such as the tapir, the largest mammal in South America, pumas, capuchin monkeys, over 400 species of birds such as toucans, parrots and hummingbirds, and thousands of flowering plants such as orchids and helicônias.
During our photo stop we visit the border triangle between Brazil - Argentina - Paraguay. It is precisely at this point that the Rio Iguaçu flows into the huge Rio Paraná, one of the richest in South America.
The Brazilian Iguaçu National Park and the Iguazú National Park in Argentina stand opposite each other like twin parks. The Iguaçu has been a World Heritage Site since 1986 and is located in the state of Paraná, southern region of Brazil. Since over 75% of the waterfalls are located in Argentine territory, you will get by far the best panoramic views from the Brazilian side.

The tour was fantastic, both guides were excellent, friendly and informative. We crammed a lot into the day, but was one of our highlights of our South American trip.
My wife & are from Atlanta USA and I took this tour on May 26 & May 27 and had an amazing experience. Our tour guide Rodrigo Ojeda Engel took us to the Brazil side of the falls on the first day and we enjoyed the trail and breath taking views of the falls. Upon our request, he took us to the bird park also and we really liked the variety of birds there. He was also kind enough to take us to the mall where we had to return an item before we headed out to Argentina. As language was an issue, he spoke to the store manager in local language and explained our situation and helped us get a refund. The second day, we had Oscar as our tour guide who took us to the Argentina side of the falls. We enjoyed the trail walks and Devil’s throat views and also enjoyed the boat ride. Oscar explained us so well and we had a great time. He also took us to the meeting point of the 3 countries. Thanks to Viator, Rodrigo & Oscar, we thoroughly enjoyed the falls experience and the tour. Highly recommend this tour.
We chose the two day option which was perfect for seeing both sides of the falls, doing the boat ride under the falls and the bird park. Our guide Philippe was great!!! He spoke excellent English and was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we did and saw! The pace we moved was perfect and probably would have taken us four days had we tried to do it on our own. This was by far one of the top five sightseeing experiences of our lives! Thank you Philippe!
Our guide Rodrigo was fantastic even arranging a new driver to speed up the difficult border crossing. The fall were truly amazing with the views from the Brazilian side truly stunning.
Our guide did a great job on our tour. He was flexible and had many options for the day in both Brazil and Argentina sides of the falls. I would recommend this trip.
Amazing tour with Rodrigo! We Wanted to do a two day tour, and you get tourist queue for the Argentinian/Brazilian border. We even wanted to see Paraguay and have dinner there and worked with a tour guide named William he was great too. Would highly recommend
Very communicative, punctual and kind service. Our guide Jefferson is an excellent and professional person.
I couldn’t ask for a better experience in Foz de Iguacu. Rodrigo made sure we were picked up from the airport, had a full day on the Brazilian side, and another on the Argentinian side and when we asked for a few hours in Paraguay, Rodrigo organized it on the spot. He speaks fluent English, and has so much knowledge that we could have spent a week with him, but above all he is very attentive, kind and trustworthy. If you go to see the falls please book this tour , you will not regret it. Thank you Rodrigo for an amazing experience 🙏
great experience with Rodrigo, our driver and guide. He was calm and patient throughout and made sure we had a wonderful experience during our stay in Iguazu. We would highly recommend using EBL and look forward to meeting Rodrigo again.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide, Hercilia, went above and beyond to take care of us. She showed up promptly on time to pick us up both days at our hotel in Foz. The first day we saw the Brazilian side of the falls and they were spectacular. Hercilia let us stay at the falls as long as we wanted, then returned us to our hotel. The next day she picked us up at 7:30 am. We had all our luggage with us because we going to be staying on the Argentinian side of the falls after the tour. She was easily able to accommodate our 4 suitcases. The Argentine side of the falls were also spectacular. We decided we wanted to do the boat ride under the falls and Hercilia helped us buy our tickets. I highly recommend the boat tour. After spending most of the day at the falls, Hercilia took us for a quick tour of Puerto Iguazo and also helped us exchange some dollars to pesos. She then dropped us off at our hotel. I would highly recommend this tour. It was very nice to have someone get us across the border and show us around both side of the falls, especially the Argentine side, which can be a little daunting with the trains and all the various trails.
