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.
"I had such a good time at Iguazu. It is stunningly beautiful and the power of the water is awesome. Junior, who was our guide on the Argentina side, was excellent, and very helpful. He kept in touch with the boat trip team as there was some question if it would happen (water levels), took me to get the tickets and show me where to board, and really looked after me. Marcelo, who took us to Brazil, was also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. I must also add a note about the drivers. They were fabulous and obviously work very closely with the guides, and do everything they can to make sure you get to where you need to be. So thank you for providing me with an excellent tour of such a wonderful natural phenomenon. I have already recommended you to several people and will continue to do so.
"From beginning to end the team at IguazuFalls ensured that our time at las cataratas was incredible. Highly reccomend IguazuFalls for a curated experience of one of the great wonders of the world!
"The tour in its entirety was well organized, from pick up to drop off at our hotel. Taking the Iguazu Falls Tour on the Brazilian side was a spectacular experience…from the balcony to the Devil’s Throat, the 1.5 trail offered us a panoramic view of the falls, allowed us to view the falls at different angles, hence great for photos. It entailed a lot of walking and climbing, yet it was worth the experience. For my family, the Iguazu Falls is indeed a natural wonder…another destination that’s been ticked off our bucket list. Thanks to your team for making it a wonderful and unforgettable experience for us.
"The location is fantastic and the scenery exquisite. The staff are all lovely, friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
"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.
