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.

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.

The day trip from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls
"The day trip from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls was fantastic! The transfers to and from the hotel to AEP airport were great. They were reliable and on time even though we caught an earlier flight back to Buenos Aires which changed the pickup time. Your agent, Walter Guiterriz coordinated the original booking with me, and he was very professional and responsive. He also helped with the last-minute change to the return pick up time due to the earlier flight. Our local guide at the Falls was very knowledgeable and guided us such that we avoided large crowds. Overall, it was well organized, seamless and went as planned. The Falls exceeded expectations and making the trip was well worth it. Highly recommend! Thank you for providing this service.

Excellent 2 day tour of Iguazu Falls
"We wanted the 2 day tour but was only able to reach the Fall at 1:00pm. Lucia suggested doing the Brazilian side on the first day as there is only one circuit here leaving a full day to explore the various circuits on the Argentinian side plus the boat ride. Everything worked out well. The transfers from hotel/airport was smooth and the driver was waiting for us every time. Our guide Cesar for the 2 days was great. He was friendly, punctual and knows the ins and out so we spent minimal time crossing the border. The schedule and pace he set for us was just right as we were seniors. We were not disappointed with this 2 day tour and saw and experienced what we came to see. We also attended the Tango and dinner show at the Iguazu Grand and was seated right in front of the stage.
