    What you'll see and do

    1. Iguazu Falls National Park

      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.

    2. Marco Das Tres Fronteiras

      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.

      20 minutes here

    3. Parque Nacional do Iguacu

      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.

    We booked a private tour...

    We booked a private tour for a day trip from Buenos Aires to see both sides of the falls. We arrived a little late due to a weather delay. Perro, a very friendly and humorous local, greeted us as we exited the terminal and promptly brought us to the Brazilian side to meet Rodrigo who would be our personal guide for the rest of the tour. Rodrigo was very knowledgeable about all the local wildlife, culture and history of the Iguazu region and delighted us with his ability to communicate with us in English, German and Spanish. We were very impressed with his detailed explanations of the fauna and his ability to answer all our questions. It was very convenient for us to leave our belongings in his SUV as he brought us to all the viewing areas and was able to get us to the front of lines due his private tour credentials. He also brought us to a beautiful local restaurant where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch. After an incredible time on the Brazil side we were ready to see the Argentina side of the falls. Unfortunately due to very high water conditions the elevated walk ways to the Devils Throat area were closed limiting the viewable parts of the falls from the Argentina side. We also drove through a very interesting community where the where the indigenous people live. A final stop at the juncture of the three countries of the Iguazu Falls was a nice finishing touch and photo opportunity for this tour. I would like to advise those that are planning a day trip from Buenos Aires that it is important to arrive in Puerto Iguazu on schedule if you want to see both sides.

    Incredible landscapes

    It wasn’t very easy to find a tour operator to do a tour for just one person, so I appreciated a lot that this was possible. Pick ups and everything related went very smooth, and I had an amazing time.

    Amazing bespoke experience

    We did 2 half day tours to both sides of the falls with airport and hotel transfers. The transfers and border crossing were orchestrated seamlessly by Rodrigo. Andre was amazing as a tour guide he was so accommodating and made sure we had the best experience and navigated the parks expertly so we experienced as much as possible within our timescale including the Bird Park which is definitely worth a visit. The falls on both sides were breathtaking and Andre made sure we had the best experience. He took care of tickets and navigation and made the whole experience effortless. From our amazing experience I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking with them.

    Amazing experience

    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.
