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 tour begins at 5:45 am and ends between 9:45 and 10:15 am.
The meeting point is at the Iguazú National Park entrance or the Meliá Hotel.
A private English-Spanish guide (Emilio White), early park access, telescope, and refreshments (coffee, tea, water, and fruit).
The tour is suitable for children aged 6 and older.
"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.
"It was an unforgettable trip. All Thanks to the lovely guide JESS. She gave us such close encounters with the Iguazu wild and such deep insights into the natural floral and fauna of iguazu....I can never thank you enough. She also introduced me to the lovely amazon chocolates sold at Iguazu and told me that Princess Diana had stayed at my hotel. For our boat ride she gave us pro tips to have max fun and also asked photographer to take our propwr photos as we are keen to buy it. Without her Iguazu memories wouldn't be so great.
"Iguazú Falls is an incredible place, and we were able to enjoy it fully and without worry thanks to the seamless experience that iguazufalls.com offered. It was easy to book, they had great communication, and our guide was wonderful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting the falls.
