We will embark on a hike through the jungle and surrounding paths in search of the most emblematic birds of the area. La Lorenza has recorded more than 300 species of birds.
Upon arrival at Iguazu airport (Puerto Iguazu IGR or Foz do Iguaçu IGU), our guides will warmly welcome you and facilitate your transfer to the hotel. After checking in, we will commence our exploration of the Iguaçu National Park, specifically the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls, offering breathtaking views of the cascades and the awe-inspiring Devil’s Throat. The tour spans 1500 meters and features an elevator and terrace for optimal viewing. Optional activities like the Helicopter Ride or the Macuco Safari can be incorporated during your visit to the Brazilian park. After the excursion, return to the hotel and indulge in some well-deserved rest.
Following breakfast, we embark on our second day of exploration. Today, we will venture to the Iguazu National Park, situated on the Argentine side of the Iguazu Falls, a recently acclaimed marvel named one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. This expansive park encompasses three primary circuits: Upper, Lower, and Devil’s Throat, interconnected by an ecological jungle train, spanning a total of 8 km. Optional activities like the Great Adventure, blending 4×4 exploration with river navigation, promise exhilarating experiences amidst the natural splendor.
The Iguazu National Park boasts diverse ecosystems, teeming with unique flora and fauna.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the misty allure of the falls, exploring trails that offer different perspectives of this natural wonder.
The Great Adventure excursion offers an adrenaline-packed journey, combining rugged terrain exploration with thrilling river navigation beneath the falls.
Guided tours provide insights into the park’s ecological significance and conservation efforts.
After the park visit, return to the hotel for relaxation or consider adding an available evening activity.
After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel to start your birdwatching activity in La Lorenza, located only 45 mins from the city centre.
With bird guides, binoculars, and telescopes in hand, we will embark on a hike through the jungle and surrounding paths in search of the area’s most emblematic birds. La Lorenza has recorded over 300 species of birds, including the yellow-crowned woodpecker, the robust woodpecker, the charming orange dancer, the territorial crested hummingbird, the scarlet-chested yacutoro, various species of fruit-eating birds, tanagers, climbers, among many others. If we are lucky and patient, we may even spot two species of toucans, less popular than the toco toucan but with fascinating coloration, such as the collared aracari and the little toucan, the latter endemic to the Atlantic Forest.
We will embrace whatever nature offers us, sharing insights into behavior, ecological value, and unique characteristics that make each species so special. The visit concludes in our gallery overlooking the Paraná River, with something delicious to savor.
This outing is suitable for both birdwatching enthusiasts and beginners and is led by specialized bird guides in the Atlantic Forest.
The list of species at La Lorenza is available.

"My guide was incredibly knowledgeable and flexible. We went to both sides of Iguana Falls and had an incredible time. He also gave me more recommendations about the area that I can do for the rest of my vacation
"Our guide Walmuza was the best. She met us on arrival an the airport and from there she took us to our hotel, the falls on both the Argentina and Brazil sides and back to the airport. She helped us navigate the crowds. She was a wealth of information. She was always on time. Thank you Walmuza!
" We have returned from what turned out to be a wonderful vacation in and around South America. Perhaps the top highlight was the side trip to Iguazu Falls with expert help from Francisco at RipioTurismo. I cannot express adequately how pleased we were with the entire experience working with him. His prompt responses to our many questions (which is a very big thing), explanation of the details and coordination of logistics – from the door of our hotel in BA all the way back to that same door – was top notch and extremely professional.
Really special about the entire trip to Iguazu was our guide Eder Dorneles. As you know, even if all the logistics work, the performance of the guide can either enhance or spoil the entire project. Eder was loaded with interesting information about the Falls as well as both Argentina and Brazil. He was very personable, his English was exceptional (particularly for us older, hard of hearing folks!) and he seamlessly guided us through the logistics of getting into and out of Brazil as well as providing tips as we traversed both national parks. We could not have had a better guide.
We can honestly say that from our standpoint, it was a flawless confirmation of our decision to select RipioTurismo to make this adventure come true.
"The tour was amazing! From start to finish, everything was well organized including transportation, the tour guide and attractions. Everything went very well without any issues at all except the weather was not cooperative, otherwise it would be perfect. We were lucky to have Junior as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend IguazuFall company to anyone who are interested to visit Iguazu Falls.
"This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had at Iguazu Falls, absolutely exhilarating and worth every penny. The service was excellent, and the staff were highly professional, making the entire experience seamless and memorable
