Itinerary
Get inside the National Park and see the amazing waterfalls. There's not much in the world that compares to the 275 waterfalls that make up stunning Iguassu Falls, which straddles the border of Brazil and Argentina and sits not far from Paraguay. On this tour, you'll travel from Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, to Iguazú National Park in Argentina to explore the Upper Circuit and Devil's Throat.
Once the tour started, every 30 min a train leaves to the superior part of the falls. First stop is the most traditional point, after the bus or van drive through the park until reach the point to start the trails and walkaways; in the end of the trail, you will find the Garganta do Diabo, the biggest waterfall in the park. Garganta do Diabo (Devil´s throat) is a footbridge of 2080 meters that give access to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles on earth. Make a stop to behold and absorb all the nature and landscape around.
Start the second part of the tour, Called Circuito Superior (Upper Circuit). When you reach the top, you will be able to see all the high points of the park. If it is a sunny day, you will watch a gorgeous rainbow. There you can visit six observatories and spaces that you can relax and appreciate the view. The Upper Circuit, which is wheelchair accessible, allows you to see the top of the majestic falls on the Argentina side and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the area. The view stretches from the Argentinian falls to San Martin Island and parts of the Brazilian falls.
If you choose the option with Brazilian side of the falls, you will have the chance to get a different and also beautiful perspective of the falls.

We booked a tour with Civitatis. Amazing experience. Excellent tour guide. Easy to book. Good communication. Would recommend
Dear Customer. Thank you very much for your review. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with us. Our team always works to provide the best service possible. We hope to welcome you again on your next trip. Best regards. Att, Giovanna Maldonado
Our Guide Roberto was excellent, arrived on time, kept the group moving and introduced us to one of the most amazing places on the Planet ( and I have been to 105 countries) . This trip is simply a must do. But don’t do the two country version. Each side needs its own day! Now for some logistics. The tour operator strongly advises buying the actual entry ticket on line before you go. Follow this advice if you enjoy root canals. Five credit cards and two debit cards later we finally gave up. The reason given to buy ahead of time is that Argentine credit card machines at the Entry gate are “unreliable” Funny that the machine at the gift shop had no problem taking my 7 US dollars for an ice cream. The entry ticket problem was solved by our guide who arranged US dollar to peso exchange at the border. This was an expensive exchange ( ie the 30 dollar ticket now cost 40 but in the end what choice was there?). I would suggest doing the Brazilian trip as a separate day ( and do the boat ride on that side so as to mazimize the Argentine experience. Which is the best side?? What side of your face do you prefer?
Dear Customer. Thanks a lot for the review. We are glad that you liked the tour. Please count on us on future trips. Thanks. Att, Giovanna Maldonado.
We had the excellent guide João who guided us perfectly through the park. Communication in advance worked smoothly . João picked us up on time and took us safely to Argentina. He had incredible knowledge and did his tour just great, taking care of everything, among other things. Surely you can explore the park alone. However, if you do not have much time, a guided tour is recommended to concentrate on the essentials. Finally, he recommended a helicopter flight over the falls. Again, he took care of and waited to take us back to the hotel afterwards. The tour was very entertaining and if you are lucky enough to catch a guide like ours, I would also like to give 6 ⭐️! Absolutely recommend!
Sehr geehrter Kunde. Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Tour gefallen hat. Bitte verlassen Sie sich bei zukünftigen Reisen auf uns. Vielen Dank.
Our tour wasn't what we expected. We choose only the Argentinian side of the Iguazu falls but the bus had more people that had to go to the Brazilian side. Because of that we had to whole tour in a RUSH matter. We were supposed to take the "circuito inferior" but the train time we had to take to see the "garganta del diablo" was very short we took the "circuito superior". We wanted to see the falls from the other perspective. The park was really crowded and we had to walk very fast the whole time. The Falls we very impressive. We would enjoy it more if the time schedule wasn't so rush the whole time.
The best: the path to Devil's Throat. In views, I liked the Brazilian side better. Although the trails are nice to connect with nature very long. With boys it's tiring to go.
La vista desde el lado brasileño suele ser mejor, pero al mismo tiempo, en la Garganta del Diablo, se puede sentir el verdadero poder de las cataratas. Visitar ambas es una experiencia completa. Estoy seguro de que nuestro equipo hizo todo lo posible para que tuvieras un tour fantástico. gracias Bruno B
This was an awesome tour!! I was a solo female, and I think it’s best to do a tour like this so that you have a group and feel safe. Also, definitely worth the price to have a guide take you to both sides (get you through customs in Argentina, inform you about the history and science behind the falls). We saw lots of wildlife despite it being quite chilly! Bhrenno was a great guide and made sure everyone was comfortable.

Excellent tour. Lucas is an amazing person, kind and very passionate about what he does. Falls by themselves are everything.
Estimado cliente. Muchas gracias por la revisión. Nos alegra que te haya gustado el tour. Por favor, cuente con nosotros en futuros viajes. Gracias.
Amazing day trip!! We loved seeing the Argentinian side of the Iguacu falls. Roberto was a great guide, he was very informative and flexible, willing to work with the group to make the most of our experience. The only thing I would say is that it wasn’t clear when we were booing that this is a FULL DAY tour. We thought we would have time in the afternoon back at our hotel or to see another attraction after getting back, and this really took all day. Knowing that, I would book again!
