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.

" Fantastic experience and certainly worth visiting. The guide was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and punctual. Visits to the waterfalls and the Itaipu dam was just perfect for a day trip.
"Our trip was amazing. Our guide Cesar was the best! He was flexible and so accommodating when rain threatened our trip. He made schedule adjustments and ensured we had the best views of the falls. The entire team did an excellent job from start to finish. Betty and Curt
"We had a great time visiting Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. The one day visit which started from our hotel in Rio de Janeiro in the morning and ended with returning to the same hotel in the night went according to plan without any hitches. Our thanks to Walter who made all the arrangements for the visit.
"Our Iguazu Falls trip was great! A highlight of our time in South America. Jorge was a great guide. We arrived not knowing much about the falls, so we had to rely on Jorge to drive the itinerary which took a little prompting on our part. We did not realize that we would be so far from a city with restaurants, so be prepared to eat at the park lodge (which was pretty good).
"The Falls are SPECTACULAR! An incredible experience! Don't miss them from both sides. Devil's Throat ....AMAZING!!! The Boat trip under the falls great fun... The film took a while to come but is well worth buying and includes still photos. Chase company if late.
