Upon arrival at Iguazu airport (Puerto Iguazu IGR or Foz do Iguaçu IGU), our guides will warmly welcome you and facilitate your transfer to the hotel. After checking in, we will commence our exploration of the Iguaçu National Park, specifically the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls, offering breathtaking views of the cascades and the awe-inspiring Devil’s Throat. The tour spans 1500 meters and features an elevator and terrace for optimal viewing. Optional activities like the Helicopter Ride or the Macuco Safari can be incorporated during your visit to the Brazilian park. After the excursion, return to the hotel and indulge in some well-deserved rest.
Following breakfast, we embark on our second day of exploration. Today, we will venture to the Iguazu National Park, situated on the Argentine side of the Iguazu Falls, a recently acclaimed marvel named one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. This expansive park encompasses three primary circuits: Upper, Lower, and Devil’s Throat, interconnected by an ecological jungle train, spanning a total of 8 km. Optional activities like the Great Adventure, blending 4×4 exploration with river navigation, promise exhilarating experiences amidst the natural splendor.
The Iguazu National Park boasts diverse ecosystems, teeming with unique flora and fauna.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the misty allure of the falls, exploring trails that offer different perspectives of this natural wonder.
The Great Adventure excursion offers an adrenaline-packed journey, combining rugged terrain exploration with thrilling river navigation beneath the falls.
Guided tours provide insights into the park’s ecological significance and conservation efforts.
After the park visit, return to the hotel for relaxation or consider adding an available evening activity.
After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel to start your birdwatching activity in La Lorenza, located only 45 mins from the city centre.
With bird guides, binoculars, and telescopes in hand, we will embark on a hike through the jungle and surrounding paths in search of the area’s most emblematic birds. La Lorenza has recorded over 300 species of birds, including the yellow-crowned woodpecker, the robust woodpecker, the charming orange dancer, the territorial crested hummingbird, the scarlet-chested yacutoro, various species of fruit-eating birds, tanagers, climbers, among many others. If we are lucky and patient, we may even spot two species of toucans, less popular than the toco toucan but with fascinating coloration, such as the collared aracari and the little toucan, the latter endemic to the Atlantic Forest.
We will embrace whatever nature offers us, sharing insights into behavior, ecological value, and unique characteristics that make each species so special. The visit concludes in our gallery overlooking the Paraná River, with something delicious to savor.
This outing is suitable for both birdwatching enthusiasts and beginners and is led by specialized bird guides in the Atlantic Forest.

"Travel to Iguazu from Buenos Aires was easy and direct. We made transfer arrangements from the airport to our hotel in advance. Our two night stay at Gran Melia could not have been more enjoyable. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the location is superb. We enjoyed amazing views of the falls from our room, and everywhere else throughout the hotel and its grounds. A short, simple walk brought us up close to even more amazing and breathtaking views. One of the most memorable resort experiences we’ve had.
"The day trip from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls was fantastic! The transfers to and from the hotel to AEP airport were great. They were reliable and on time even though we caught an earlier flight back to Buenos Aires which changed the pickup time. Your agent, Walter Guiterriz coordinated the original booking with me, and he was very professional and responsive. He also helped with the last-minute change to the return pick up time due to the earlier flight. Our local guide at the Falls was very knowledgeable and guided us such that we avoided large crowds. Overall, it was well organized, seamless and went as planned. The Falls exceeded expectations and making the trip was well worth it. Highly recommend! Thank you for providing this service.
"We wanted the 2 day tour but was only able to reach the Fall at 1:00pm. Lucia suggested doing the Brazilian side on the first day as there is only one circuit here leaving a full day to explore the various circuits on the Argentinian side plus the boat ride. Everything worked out well. The transfers from hotel/airport was smooth and the driver was waiting for us every time. Our guide Cesar for the 2 days was great. He was friendly, punctual and knows the ins and out so we spent minimal time crossing the border. The schedule and pace he set for us was just right as we were seniors. We were not disappointed with this 2 day tour and saw and experienced what we came to see. We also attended the Tango and dinner show at the Iguazu Grand and was seated right in front of the stage.
"It was one of the best worldwide experiences we have ever had. The view of the falls from above was spectacular. I can only recommend it to everyone. The service of your company was extraordinary.
"My guide was incredibly knowledgeable and flexible. We went to both sides of Iguana Falls and had an incredible time. He also gave me more recommendations about the area that I can do for the rest of my vacation
