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.

It was a wonderful experience. We appreciated the tour guide being able to translate in English what he was saying. We didn't feel left out. It was a great experience for the price. The pick up was right on time and they even accommodated getting us from an airbnb. Getting across the border was easy. The tour throughout was very informative and was able to see and experience it all. The ride back was just as smooth
"We did the private Iguazu Falls tour to Argentina. The entire experience was seamless. Our guide - Jessica - was great and the booking experience was painless. Would definitely recommend!
"We had the most amazing day exploring the waterfalls by foot, boat, and helicopter! The boat ride was a thrilling (and soaking wet!) adventure, and the aerial views were absolutely breathtaking. Everything was seamless, well-organised, and fun from start to finish. Huge thanks to the team for making Joe’s birthday so special!
"Great experience! It's a one in a life experience!
"the company worked with us to change flights a few times due to cancellations out of Ushaia. Also our guide was great and very helpful!
