Itinerary

The visit to Mocona Falls is a full-day tour.

We will depart at 7:00 a.m. from your hotel in Puerto Iguazú, heading towards Moconá Provincial Park. This vast natural area, renowned for its stunning waterfalls, is the second most visited in Misiones, following Iguazú National Park.

Our first stop will be Mocona Falls, where the cascades on the Uruguay River, marking the border between Argentina and Brazil, plunge over a unique geological fault, creating a longitudinal cut in the river itself.

The breathtaking 5 to 10-meter-high waterfalls will undoubtedly leave you in awe as they stretch over 3 kilometers through this astonishing natural area, which is also part of the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve. This captivating region of the Paranaense jungle spans several areas of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.

You will have the opportunity to visit the Moconá Interpretation Center to learn more about the origin of its famous falls, and you’ll have approximately two hours to enjoy lunch at the restaurant.

In the afternoon, we will return to your hotel in Puerto Iguazú, arriving between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m.

Excellent stress free way to visit the Falls.

"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.

Fantastic guide and jaw dropping views of Iguazu Falls

"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.

Iguazu Falls in a day from a cruise ship

"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.
