Iguazu Falls with kayaking activity is a traditional three-night program that includes visiting the wonderful Iguazu Falls, with tours on both sides. That means we visit the Argentine side with its 8km of trails and the Brazilian side with its marvelous panoramic views. But we also include a full-day tour to enjoy La Lorenza and kayaking as a special activity.
Upon arrival, a short jungle walk leads us to the riverbank, where the kayaks await. The calm waters of the Urugua-í stream are easy to paddle and invite us to quiet our minds to perceive nature pulsating all around with all our senses. Although this activity is suitable for beginners and sit-on-top kayaks are very stable, it is a requirement to know how to swim. Upon reaching the shore, we embark on a 45-minute guided jungle walk, which ends at our deck where a delicious lunch awaits.
In the afternoon, a boat picks us up along the Paraná River coastline to take us to Salto Yasy, a hidden gem of the area. Swimming in the river is safe and very enjoyable.

After breakfast, we will begin our second day of activities. In this case, we will visit the Iguazu National Park, located on the Argentine side of the Iguazu Falls, a magical place recently declared one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. It is the largest park with three main circuits: Upper, Lower, and Devil’s Throat, with an ecological jungle train, and a total extension of 8 km. Optional activities such as the Great Adventure can also be added, which combines 4×4 with a navigation that will make you soak up joy (and also water). After the visit, transfer to the hotel to rest or add some available nighttime activity.
After breakfast, we will enjoy a full-day visit to La Lorenza, a magical place where we can kayak and immerse ourselves in nature. Pick-up from the hotel and transfer to La Lorenza.

"the company worked with us to change flights a few times due to cancellations out of Ushaia. Also our guide was great and very helpful!
"Lucia at RipioTurismo did an excellent job arranging my three day Iguazu falls tour from Buenos Aires. Everything was included, except meals. All transport and tour arrangements were executed very well. It was very easy to communicate with the tour operator before and during my trip.
"We had a great tour guide - Lorena Cardenal. She was very calm, extremely knowledgeable about every little detail on Iguazú falls, flora and fauna. She and driver picked us up and dropped us at our hotel and border crossing was so easy with them. She let us spent as much time as we wanted and was cognizant of us taking rest whenever we needed. We saw both sides of Iguazu falls with her. Iguazu falls is so fantastic, no word can describe how beautiful it is and both sides have its own unique features, so see both sides as well as boat ride under water falls on Argentina side was awesome! She even made Matte for us to try, which she made and brought it for us next day. She was so gentle and caring about the park being kept clean. I highly recommend her as your private tour guide.
"Everything went very smoothly. No complaints at all! My guide Jorge was wonderful. I learned so much from him. Be prepared to walk a lot. Be sure to include the boat ride on the Argentina side. It is well worth it, but be prepared to get drenched! If you go to the Brazilian side, don’t think twice about taking the helicopter for -about $125 USD. It will give you a spectacular view even though it is a short ride. ( I didn’t have time to get to the Brazilian side to do it). I understand the hotels are wonderful, so if you go, do two days if you can. Passing all the information on to a travel agent I know to have anyone interested in going to Iguazu Falls to use this company! I flew at 6 am from Buena Aires to Iguazu Falls and flew back at 8:15! It is easily possible to do this Argentina side in a day.
"Jala, our guide as fantastic - fun, informative and attententive. The bus driver was great. All went well.
