It was a wonderful tour of the falls. He only part of the park we did not visit was the lower circuit below the Falls, which has great views. This guide was so knowledgeable and just fun!
beautiful waterfalls, several scenic spots. the boat ride is adventurous and solitary, you get wet. bring spare clothes (there are changing rooms). the guide Horace very good. if you want you can go even without tour but so it's all more comfortable
There is a lot of walking. Absolutely beautiful but it was hot and humid. The train is cute but very crowded and the seats are terrible. You definitely get wet at Devils Throat. Be sure to bring sunscreen It was an incredible experience.
Carlos is a highly experienced tour guide, this being his 36th year of guiding. We loved the Argentine side of the falls, having already been to the Brazilian side and a helicopter ride over the falls. But the highlight for us was being right at the Devils Throat! Wow. Then the Grand Adventure- the boat ride was AMAZING and EXHILARATING. SO MUCH FUN!! And I am 65!
You will get wet. A change of clothes needed. Boat ride great fun. Waterfalls spectacular. Train ride and truck ride very enjoyable. Lasting memories of a beautiful place.
We really knew nothing about the Iguazú Falls except that we needed to see them while in Argentina. We are so glad we made a special trip overnight trip from Buenos Aires to the park. Pajora was a terrific guide, fun, knowledgeable, and patient. Make no mistake, at this time of the year, the park is crowded but Pajora kept us all together while allowing some free time as well. Plan on a lot of walking - I think we walked about 5 miles during the trip which included walking DOWN to the boat launch and back UP to the meeting spot. We’re in our mid-60s and in fairly good shape, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. You will get soaking wet on the boat ride although any valuables like bags and watches and shoes can be stowed in a dry bag. The falls are spectacular as one of our fellow passenger on the boat trip reminded in Spanish over and over again (LOL).
Pájaro is a fantastic guide! Knowledgable, personable, and fluent in Spanish and English, Pájaro made this experience beyond spectacular. Multiple level views of the waterfalls gave us special perspectives of this sensational place. Tangol is lucky to have him, and we were extremely lucky to find him. Thank you!!!!!
It was an awesome excursion, the boats ride was truly an Amazing Experience! I enjoyed that they let us take pictures before we went under the Falls!! Told us everything we needed beforehand and prepared us when we were on the boat!
This is the can’t miss activity for any trip to Argentina. One amazing sight after another. Pictures can’t do it justice.
This was an amazing and breathtaking experience, not to be missed if you’re at all interested in seeing the falls. Miguel (Mikey!) was great and provided the best experience we could have hoped for, everything went like clockwork! I would not hesitate to recommend him (and this tour group!) to anyone planning a trip to Iguazu and the falls!!
