Itinerary

Day 1:

Departure From Buenos Aires 🚗 ✈️

Start your journey with the option of adding a transfer from your accommodation in Buenos Aires, whether you are staying at a hotel or apartment, or arriving from the cruise pier. Your transfer will take you to the airport for your flight to Iguazu Falls.

Arrival at Iguazu Falls and Argentine Side 🛬🇦🇷

Upon arrival at Iguazu International Airport (IGR), your guide will be waiting to welcome you. Depending on your flight schedule, you will either travel to your hotel first or head directly to Iguazu National Park to begin your visit.

We can assist you with your national park entrance ticket, and we recommend adding it to your reservation in advance for a smoother experience.

The Argentine side offers several walking circuits with different perspectives of the waterfalls:

  • Upper Circuit: Enjoy panoramic views from above the waterfalls along a route of approximately 1.85 km. The circuit offers elevated viewpoints over several of the park’s major falls and is considered one of the most accessible routes in the park.
  • Lower Circuit: Walk through the rainforest on a route of approximately 1.45 km, reaching viewpoints closer to several waterfalls. This circuit includes sections with stairs and uneven terrain, providing a more immersive perspective from below and beside the falls.
  • Devil’s Throat: Take the Eco Train to Devil’s Throat Station and continue along the walkway leading to Devil’s Throat, the most powerful section of Iguazu Falls. The walkway is approximately 2.2 km round trip, ending at a viewing platform overlooking this spectacular section of the Iguazu River.

Devil’s Throat is one of the most impressive areas of Iguazu Falls, where enormous volumes of water plunge into a narrow canyon surrounded by subtropical rainforest. Iguazu National Park has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.

During the day, there will be time for lunch. You can bring your own food or eat at one of the available food services inside the park. You can also add a buffet lunch at El Fortin Cataratas Restaurant to your reservation.

After your visit, we will take you comfortably back to your hotel. If you would like to continue enjoying Iguazu in the evening, you can add a tango show at Madero Tango or an Argentine gastronomy experience.

Day 2:

Brazilian Side 🇧🇷

Our team will pick you up from your hotel between 8:00 and 9:00 AM to begin your visit to the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls.

After arriving at Iguaçu National Park, you will use the park’s internal transportation to reach the main waterfall area.

The traditional Trilha das Cataratas is approximately 1.5 km long and provides continuous panoramic views across the waterfalls. As you progress along the trail, the viewpoints become increasingly close to the falls, ending near the spectacular Devil’s Throat area. Be prepared for plenty of mist, especially near the final walkway.

Remember to protect your camera or phone from the spray while enjoying one of the most impressive panoramic perspectives of Iguazu Falls.

On this day, you can also add the famous helicopter ride over Iguazu Falls to your itinerary.

After your visit, we will transfer you safely back to your hotel.

Day 3:

Goodbye Iguazu! 🖐️

On your last day, you will have a free morning to enjoy your final hours in Iguazu. When the time comes, your transfer will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the airport for your return flight to Buenos Aires.

After three days exploring both sides of Iguazu Falls, you will return to Buenos Aires with a much more complete view of this extraordinary natural destination.

Please note that entry requirements for Brazil vary according to nationality and apply even when crossing the border only for a short visit to the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls.

As of April 10, 2025, travelers using United States, Canadian, or Australian passports require a visa to enter Brazil, including for tourism. Eligible travelers from these countries can apply for Brazil’s electronic visitor visa (e-Visa). Immigration requirements can change, so passengers should always verify the latest rules before traveling.

All passengers are responsible for ensuring that they hold valid passports, visas, and any other documentation required to enter Argentina and Brazil.

If you are traveling with children, please check the requirements of any optional activities you would like to add.

Your confirmed pickup time will be provided with your travel documents.

Is This Tour Accessible for People With Reduced Mobility?

Many areas of Iguazu National Park have been adapted for visitors with reduced mobility and wheelchair users. However, accessibility varies between circuits.

The Upper Circuit is highly accessible, while parts of the Lower Circuit include stairs and more challenging terrain.

If you are traveling with reduced mobility, we recommend informing us in advance so the itinerary can be organized accordingly.

What Should I Bring for This Tour?

We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and light, breathable clothing. Bring drinking water, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, and protection for electronic devices, especially near the waterfalls.

If you plan to join the Gran Aventura, bring a change of clothes because passengers get completely wet during the boat portion of the experience.

For more information, check our article on what to pack for Iguazu Falls.

Is There a Maximum Group Size for This Tour?

There is no fixed maximum group size for the standard private tour. For larger groups, additional guides or vehicles may be recommended to ensure a comfortable experience.

Any Additional Suggestions?

We recommend having a good breakfast before your first day, especially if you will be visiting the Argentine side directly after arriving in Iguazu.

If your flight leaves Buenos Aires very early, your guide can help organize the beginning of the day according to your arrival time and planned activities.

What Can I See in Iguazu in Three Days?

A three-day itinerary can include the Argentine side, the Brazilian side, and additional experiences such as Gran Aventura, Parque Das Aves, a helicopter ride, or some free time in Iguazu.

The exact schedule will depend on your flight times and the optional activities selected.

Does This Package Visit Both Argentina and Brazil?

Yes. The itinerary includes a private visit to the Argentine side and a private visit to the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls.

Because the tour crosses an international border, passengers must have the necessary documentation to enter both countries.

If you book your flights with us, the available fare options and conditions will be displayed during the reservation process.

You can also book your accommodation independently.

The minimum age for Gran Aventura is 12 years old.

Can I Add Bird Park and the Helicopter Ride?

When selected, the service includes transportation between your accommodation in Buenos Aires and the corresponding airport for your outbound and return flights.

What Happens if My Buenos Aires-Iguazu Flight Schedule Changes?

Contact us as soon as possible. We will review your airport transfers and scheduled excursions and make any possible adjustments.

Changes remain subject to availability, park operating hours, and the conditions of the airline and other service providers.

2 Days vs 3 Days in Iguazu Falls: Which Should I Choose?

A two-day visit focuses primarily on the main Iguazu Falls experiences and usually requires a tighter schedule.

A three-day stay offers a more relaxed pace, more flexibility around flight schedules, and additional time for optional activities or free time in the destination.
