Itinerary
Your visit begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the local ecoregion and its conservation efforts. After a short walk of about fifteen minutes through the jungle, you board a motor boat to navigate the Paraná River toward Salto Yasy, a secluded and beautiful waterfall hidden in the forest.
In this peaceful natural setting, you can take a refreshing dip and enjoy the relaxing massage created by the waterfall’s flow. Swimming in the river is safe, since there are no aggressive animals living in these waters. On the return navigation, the boat engine is turned off to let the river carry you, allowing you to fully absorb the soundscape of the surrounding jungle.
Back on land, a guided walk leads you through a trail rich in flora and birdlife. Along the way, you learn about the yerba mate plant that grows naturally in the jungle of La Lorenza.
Later, gathered around a circular fire pit, you are introduced to the cultural world of mate, the national drink of Argentina. Following the traditional Guaraní process, you prepare this infusion from the plant to the cup while hearing stories about its sacred meaning, the influence of the Jesuits, health benefits and the social rules that shape this daily ritual.
The day concludes on a deck with panoramic views of the Paraná River, where you enjoy a delicious lunch in the morning shift or an early dinner in the afternoon shift, along with a friendly conversation with the hosts.

This tour will be a memorable…
"This tour will be a memorable experience for anyone wanting a one-day tour of Iguazu Falls. IguazuFalls.com provided door-to-door service, with every aspect on-time and as-promised. In particular, we had Junior as our Iguazu guide, and he accompanied us for the entire day, from picking us up at the airport, showing us the best viewing spots at the falls, and even returning us to the airport.

Everything about the activity was…PERFECT
"Everything about the activity was magical, from the ride through the jungle, to the ride onto the waterfalls! Unforgettable experience. The staff was professional, organized and provided a very fun exhilarating experience. We saw there were many activity options, this being on the more expensive side, but it was worth every penny! We had a large group of friends traveling and this was everyone's favorite adventure. If we are ever in the area, we would all return for another dip. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!

Great one dah tour with flights.
"Took a one day Iguacu tour from Rio de Janeiro and back to Sao Paolo. Everything was perfectly organized - pick up at hotel and airports, flights, tour of the falls and guide. The guide helps cut through hours of lines for park internal busses and was professional. The day was amazing and smooth
