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.

"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
