    2. The adventure begins at the entrance to the Macuco Safari, located 25 kilometer down Cataratas Highway inside Iguassu National Park. Board open jeep-towed wagons that allow for an unobstructed view of the scenery along the trail. During the stretch of three kilometers through the jungle, multi-lingual guides will point out examples of the flora and fauna of the Park. Orchids, palm trees, bromeliads, centenarian trees, and even wild animals that occasionally cross the trail are pointed out by the guides.

      20 minutes here · Admission included

    3. Iguazu Falls

      On a stretch of 600 meters, there is a hike on a trail that leads to a waterfall called "Macuco Falls". The waterfall spills down from a height of approximately 20 meters. Access is via a stairway carved into the ancient rock. Make your way down on a short drive on an open-top jeep to reach the last stop, the docks on the Brazilian side of Iguassu River. In the water, inflatable bi-motor boats await us. They´re constructed to withstand the rigors of the excursion, as well as being secure and efficient vessels. Before embarkation, passengers receive life-vests and plastic containers in which to protect photographic and filming equipment. The boat travels up-river passing the canyon facing the rapids at a speed that allows for scenic viewing. Rainbows, blue sky, mist and water in abundance punctuate the spectacle whose high-point is the "The Three Musketeers". Here the captain maneuvers the boat in order to get close enough to provide the passengers with a quick and refreshing shower.

    Don’t miss thisvtour

    I had a great guide. She was willing to work with me regarding a change of plans. She was very genuine and nice. The boat ride was amazing. We did donuts in the river and then got very close to the falls. You do get Wet. The falls are so powerful and loud. They are magnificent!

    Response from the operator: Dear Customer. Thanks a lot for the review. We are glad that you liked the tour. Please count on us on future trips. Thanks.

    A breathtaking visit!

    This is one of the most stunning things I have experienced! It was rainy the day we went, but it didn't damper our experience! The falls are breath taking! You will do some walking! You get an amazing look at the falls. We could see people on the Argentina side. From what my friend (who is Argentinian) told me, the best views are on the Brazilian side. The boat ride was thrilling! Now you can buy a poncho to try and keep you dry...but that may be an illusion! LOL We got drenched! I did put my passport, wallet and phone in ziplock bag before hand...that was wise! I was really surprised at the amount of wind coming off one of the falls. When walking to the boats, you need to watch your step on the rocks, but it's fairly easy to navigate. I'd love to see the falls on a sunny day sometime! Highly recommend this!

    Response from the operator: Dear Customer. Thanks a lot for the review. We are glad that you liked the tour. Please count on us on future trips. Thanks.

    Worth the trip but don't have high expectations.

    The falls were fantastic. Beyond imagination. I highly recommend it. The boat ride was less than expected. Very short, maybe 20 minutes and didn't get close to the major falls. Not close enough for good pics. We just went up close to a really small water fall, about 3 meters wide, to get wet. Jungle ride was short and not very interesting either.

    Response from the operator: Dear John. thank you for your feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed the Tour. Falls are indeed fantastic and unforgetable. This period , we are going through a drought and this directly influences the tour as to the allowed proximity of the falls thank you and count with us for your future travels

    Macucu , Iguassi falls combo tours, Off road jungle Drive, Hike and water falls boat ride

    Totally unorganized, no one spoke two words of English, way over priced, Jungle Drive is a windy little road you take electric bus to, Hike is leas than five minutes to trash the boat duck. If you take just a boat ride for about $60 less, they have to take you the same route, there isn’t e Off-Road or a hike for that matter, don’t waste your money, if you have to take the ten minutes boat ride, just do that only no need to give them extra $60 for nothing absolutely not worth it, tried to reach someone to speak, they don’t answer the phone if and when they do they hang up the minute they hear English speaking, quite a disappointment and waste of time and money

    Response from the operator: Dear Nabil E, Thank you for your review! The guide on your tour, is accredited by the Tourism Ministry as an English Speaking guide as has serviced thousands of other guests in English. At the office there is English speaking staff and this is high rated service. However we still apologize that you didn't have an enjoyable experience with us. Thank you. Pedro Malta on behalf of Diogo M.

    Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Iguazu.

    How much does Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at $246 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Iguazu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Iguazu is not rushed.

    Is Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Puerto Iguazu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    +

    How far in advance should I book Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride?

    +

    Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Iguazu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Iguazu and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Iguassu Falls Combo Tour: Visit to the Brazilian side and Waterfall Boat Ride start and how do I get there?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Iguazu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Iguazu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
