Visitors can enjoy boat tours or viewpoints along the riverbank to witness this rare spectacle amidst the lush rainforest surroundings, making Mocona Falls a truly unforgettable destination.

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.

"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
"Our guide Walmuza was the best. She met us on arrival an the airport and from there she took us to our hotel, the falls on both the Argentina and Brazil sides and back to the airport. She helped us navigate the crowds. She was a wealth of information. She was always on time. Thank you Walmuza!
" We have returned from what turned out to be a wonderful vacation in and around South America. Perhaps the top highlight was the side trip to Iguazu Falls with expert help from Francisco at RipioTurismo. I cannot express adequately how pleased we were with the entire experience working with him. His prompt responses to our many questions (which is a very big thing), explanation of the details and coordination of logistics – from the door of our hotel in BA all the way back to that same door – was top notch and extremely professional.
Really special about the entire trip to Iguazu was our guide Eder Dorneles. As you know, even if all the logistics work, the performance of the guide can either enhance or spoil the entire project. Eder was loaded with interesting information about the Falls as well as both Argentina and Brazil. He was very personable, his English was exceptional (particularly for us older, hard of hearing folks!) and he seamlessly guided us through the logistics of getting into and out of Brazil as well as providing tips as we traversed both national parks. We could not have had a better guide.
We can honestly say that from our standpoint, it was a flawless confirmation of our decision to select RipioTurismo to make this adventure come true.
"The tour was amazing! From start to finish, everything was well organized including transportation, the tour guide and attractions. Everything went very well without any issues at all except the weather was not cooperative, otherwise it would be perfect. We were lucky to have Junior as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend IguazuFall company to anyone who are interested to visit Iguazu Falls.
"This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had at Iguazu Falls, absolutely exhilarating and worth every penny. The service was excellent, and the staff were highly professional, making the entire experience seamless and memorable
