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.
"This tour will be a memorable experience for anyone wanting a one-day tour of Iguazu Falls. IguazuFalls.com provided door-to-door service, with every aspect on-time and as-promised. In particular, we had Junior as our Iguazu guide, and he accompanied us for the entire day, from picking us up at the airport, showing us the best viewing spots at the falls, and even returning us to the airport.
"Everything about the activity was magical, from the ride through the jungle, to the ride onto the waterfalls! Unforgettable experience. The staff was professional, organized and provided a very fun exhilarating experience. We saw there were many activity options, this being on the more expensive side, but it was worth every penny! We had a large group of friends traveling and this was everyone's favorite adventure. If we are ever in the area, we would all return for another dip. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!
"Took a one day Iguacu tour from Rio de Janeiro and back to Sao Paolo. Everything was perfectly organized - pick up at hotel and airports, flights, tour of the falls and guide. The guide helps cut through hours of lines for park internal busses and was professional. The day was amazing and smooth
"The trip to Iguazu Falls was truly wonderful – everything went smoothly and the experience exceeded my expectations. I also want to highlight how great our guide was: very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He really added value to the visit and made it special. Thanks again to the whole team for your support!
"A friendly, happy day made enjoyable by the environment and a great tour guide.
