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.
Approximately 2.5 hours, including the hike and cultural activities.
Yes, the tour has a low difficulty level with no slopes, but it is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.
Closed shoes, long pants, insect repellent, a reusable water bottle, and your passport/ID.
Wednesdays and Sundays
The tour is suitable for children aged 6 and older.

We had a spectacular experience with this company. Everything was seamless, professional, and very reasonably priced. Our guides were friendly and personable, always on time. We would very highly recommend this company to anyone who wishes to visit Iguazu Falls.
"We did the river cruise and dinner, it was so worth it! David our guide was the absolute best, so knowledgeable and pleasant. Dinner was perfection and service was outstanding! I wished I stayed at the hotel. I would return definitely.
"My Iguazu Falls trip was excellent! Gabriel was an excellent driver and communicator. I definitely got to see all of the falls on both sides and to he allowed me all the time I needed to enjoy them. I would definitely recommend him and the tour company to others and would use them again if I ever go back to the area.
"I had the pleasure of working with Mauro from Ripioturismo in Buenos Aires. I am located in North America and had to do everything through email. He was very detailed and put together a great itinerary for our visit to Iguazu Falls. He was patient when corresponding with me and even with a few last minute changes, he was on top of it. Everything worked great, the travel was easy, pick ups were on time (even at an early hour of 5AM) and the guides were amazing. All in all a great experience to the Falls. I would recommend Mauro to plan your trip.
"We booked the excursions that included both the Argentina and Brazil sides. Our guide in Argentina, Llarena was great. She was funny and very personable. She gave us some great insights on the history and other information regarding the falls. She gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sights and our included lunch. The food at the falls was delicious. Our second guide in Brazil was very professional and made our trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the falls and fondness for his job and country enhanced our overall experience. The boat ride under the falls was one of the highlights of the trip. Both guides, boat attendants and other personnel we met on both countries were friendly and made our trip to the falls great!
