Itinerary
After pick-up at your hotel, you will be driven to the world-famous Iguazu National Park, located on the Argentine side of the falls. Keep your eyes opened: You may spot some wildlife on the surrounding subtropical forest (toucans, parrots and coatis, just to name a few!)
Iguazu Falls are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in South America and the world: they were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO! Upon arrival, you will show your entrance ticket and enter the park (entrance fee not included).
Next up, ride on an ecological train through the Iguazu rainforest to access the viewing platform that overlooks the impressive Devil’s Throat, the most important and most imposing waterfall of all. You will not cease to be amazed by the force of millions of litres of water falling at different heights! ** In case there are many people in the train to go to The Devil’s Throat, you will try to go first to less crowded places.
After touring “Garganta del Diablo” (Devil’s Throat), you will continue to explore the walkways of either the lower or the upper circuit accompained by a local specialized guide. Both of them are sure to impress you: The LOWER CIRCUIT, feature a more intimate experience with nature as you walk right into the forest to the heart of the falls, you will be able to feel the “spirit” of the jungle; its humidity, sounds and aromas. The UPPER CIRCUIT provides magnificent panoramic views from the top of the falls. This circuit is the perfect place to kick back and relax with the sound of water in the background and sunlight on your skin. 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).
After touring the circuits, set off in an open-air truck through the lush tropical forest accompanied by a bilingual guide and then descend the stairs leading to the pier. Now, the moment you have been waiting for: Embark on an unforgettable boat adventure! Get up close to Tres Mosqueteros falls and enjoy amazing Devil’s Throat views crowning the canyon. To further add to your adrenaline, face the incomparable San Martín fall, the second biggest of all! Needless to say, you will get soaked! **You will navigate 6km (2 km of rapids).** Please check the restriction list below to verify you can embark on this adventure. **Boat ride may be affected by too low or too high river level (may occur about twice a year).
After enjoying the final views of the day, we will drive you back to your hotel in Puerto Iguazu. **The order of the itinerary is subject to change due to conditions of an operational nature. Your guide will decide which circuit should be visited first to avoid long lines and major crowds. **Schedules may vary according to weather, traffic, etc.

The guide didn’t explain anything and he was in a rush to be done. The mingle people that are doing the boat experience with those that don’t. Guide didn’t explain that if you do the boat tour you will not do the lower circuit.

This is a very well organised and comprehensive tour of the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls. I was collected from my accomodation and driven to the Park. We explored by train, on foot, by truck and on a boat. Daniella was a fantastic guide, incredibly knowledgable.

Once through the entrance into the national park the tour became a bit chaotic as some members of the group who were eventually to take the boat ride were split off with 2 groups being made. Ones taking the boat and those who were not, so my wife and I were split from each other. This turned out to be a waste of time as we then met up again 30 mins later and remained together until the boat ride. We received little addition to our experience by the presence of the guides as 1) the group was split up by travelling on the train because it was too large nothing could be conveyed and 2) even when all together nothing of much interest was explained. This was highlighted as I travelled in a carriage with a guide and her 4 guests and there was a flow interesting information. There was constant pressure to keep us moving so the boat ride people did not miss their boat which I can understand and so I conclude the combining of the boat and falls tour is not ideal and taking 20 people or so distracts of the experience.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear that the organization and guiding style did not fully meet your expectations. The logistics inside Iguazu National Park can become quite dynamic, especially on combined excursions that include both the walkways and the boat navigation. Group divisions and timing coordination are necessary to ensure guests reach the navigation area on schedule, though we understand this may sometimes affect the overall flow and pace of the experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding the amount of information shared during the tour. Clear and engaging guidance is an important part of the experience, and your feedback will be shared with the team as we continue reviewing group management and communication during busy park operations. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It is very valuable for helping us improve future experiences. Kind regards
