On arrival at La Lorenza, begin with a 15-minute forest walk leading to the Paraná River’s shore, where double sit-on-top kayaks await. Paddle gently for about an hour, taking in breathtaking views of the forest and river. When conditions allow, enjoy a refreshing swim in the river’s calm waters.
After kayaking, return to land and embark on a one-hour interpretive jungle walk. Discover the interconnected world of fauna and flora, medicinal plants, plant intelligence, and the secrets of seed dispersal. Learn about the vibrant ecosystem, from lianas and fungi to endemic birds and lichens.
The experience concludes with a delightful lunch (AM) or early dinner (PM) at La Lorenza’s main house. Relax and savor regional flavors while enjoying a chat with the hosts and a stunning view of the surrounding jungle.
CANCELLATION POLICY
The following penalties apply for cancellations:
DATE CHANGE POLICY
Date changes for reservations are subject to availability and price updates.
PLAN B POLICY
In case of storms with electrical activity or heavy rainfall that jeopardize the safety of individuals, and in the event of environmental conditions that prevent navigation on the river:
At La Lorenza, we do not cancel excursions due to rain. We are located in an eco-region called the Atlantic Rainforest, meaning intermittent rainfall occurs frequently, providing the jungle with renewed vitality.
For excursions involving the river, we wait for the rain to pass or proceed with rain ponchos. However, if we receive an alert for electrical activity from the Coast Guard or if there is heavy rainfall that puts people’s lives at risk, we will suspend the river activity for safety reasons. The activity will be replaced by the “La Lorenza Jungle and Culture” excursion (mate experience) on solid ground as a Plan B.
Plan B is also applied in case of environmental phenomena (e.g., rising or lowering river levels) that prevent navigation on the river.
The excursion offers two daily departures:
The activity duration is approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, excluding the 50-minute drive to and from Iguazu.
Participants are advised to bring the following items:
Additionally, passports or ID documents may be requested at checkpoints, so please remember to bring them with you. Note that when the river is low or it has rained, the shore may be muddy, and shoes might get dirty. The hosts offer to clean shoes superficially after the excursion to ensure you return to your hotel in a presentable way.
Yes, please note:
If the weather is too bad, it could be rescheduled or canceled.
No, but you can include it in the booking form.
"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
