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.

I had such a good time at Iguazu
"I had such a good time at Iguazu. It is stunningly beautiful and the power of the water is awesome. Junior, who was our guide on the Argentina side, was excellent, and very helpful. He kept in touch with the boat trip team as there was some question if it would happen (water levels), took me to get the tickets and show me where to board, and really looked after me. Marcelo, who took us to Brazil, was also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. I must also add a note about the drivers. They were fabulous and obviously work very closely with the guides, and do everything they can to make sure you get to where you need to be. So thank you for providing me with an excellent tour of such a wonderful natural phenomenon. I have already recommended you to several people and will continue to do so.

Iguazu Falls…indeed a natural wonder !!!
"The tour in its entirety was well organized, from pick up to drop off at our hotel. Taking the Iguazu Falls Tour on the Brazilian side was a spectacular experience…from the balcony to the Devil’s Throat, the 1.5 trail offered us a panoramic view of the falls, allowed us to view the falls at different angles, hence great for photos. It entailed a lot of walking and climbing, yet it was worth the experience. For my family, the Iguazu Falls is indeed a natural wonder…another destination that’s been ticked off our bucket list. Thanks to your team for making it a wonderful and unforgettable experience for us.

Travel to Iguazu from Buenos Aires was memorable.
"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.
