The elevated walkways will take you over the drop line of several of the main jumps. Are you hungry? You will have some free time to have lunch (lunch not included). **Optional: You can add the 'Great Adventure' boat ride with an extra cost.

This was a fantastic day where we not only experienced the spectacular views of the falls but we learned much about the local area and saw lots of the local wildlife. Our guide Maru was super friendly and knowledgeable and really helped make the experience. We saw wildlife we would never have noticed on our own. We learned the history of the area and saw the most amazing waterfalls ever! Would definitely recommend to others.
Hi Jane! Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed both the incredible views and the chance to learn more about the area and its wildlife. It’s great to know the experience was both fun and informative. We truly appreciate the recommendation! Best regards
Rodrigo, our guide was absolutely punctual at the hotel for our pick up. He was only guide and he came with a driver (Ariel) so he could really focus on the tour! He was very open minded and had really a lot of knowledge and shared the best information. He also organized us a Helicopter flight without prior booking and it was amazing. We can just recomend to dk the tour with Rodrigo if you have the chance too!

Milvia Crosta who was our tour guide she meet us at the Iguazu airport with the driver. One of the most important things Milvia explained to us was Iguazu Falls straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil. The first part of our tour we started on the Argentina side where we walked around one mile and got a close-up of the falls. Each side of the falls has its own benefits. If you have time, we strongly suggest doing part of the Argentina side then go to Brazil side. This is exactly what we did. You’ll need to bring your passport and Milvia was wonderful navigating us thru the lines and she knew the checkout points and best spots to take pictures of the falls. She had a private vehicle drive us from both sides and to the airport. She is very organized and knows how to cross into the borders for a smooth and quick transition. There is no we could have done both sides without her aid. Kudos, Milvia.
What an amazing day. Our guide and drivers were the best and made sure we got around to all the diff angles from Brazil to chopper and boat and seeing nature on the Argentina side
We had a wonderful experience from airport pickup to return. Our guide, Maria Laura, was fantastic. She moved at our own pace as we walked all three trails and shared tons of information along the way. She even offered to take us to the Meliá hotel for a drink after the tour. Going in August kept the crowds and the temperatures down. It was a perfect day in a truly wonderful place!
It is a must do to take the boat ride from Argentina side during the tour. Private tour is amazing not only for saving time but also getting a lot more access to native knowledge and information. Worth of money!
We walked 8k in 35 degrees but it was worth it. Three trails on the Argentinian side is enough! The site is always very busy - taking a guide helps jump the queues
We booked an all day tour and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. We flew on the first flight from Buenos Aires and were met at the airport by our guide, Eduardo. He gave us an overview of the national park and laid out the plans for the day. We first went to Devil’s Throat, then took the lower trail, and finally the upper trail in the park. It was a beautiful sunny day in the park but not close to being as impressive as the various waterfalls. After a long day of hiking, Eduardo took us to a nice buffet lunch for food, relaxation and recuperation. After lunch Eduardo took us back to the airport for our return flight to bueno Aires. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Eduardo was a fantastic guide — engaging, thoughtful, friendly, knowledgeable and personable. Everything went according to plan and Eduardo made this a special day for my wife and I.
