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.

"the company worked with us to change flights a few times due to cancellations out of Ushaia. Also our guide was great and very helpful!
"Lucia at RipioTurismo did an excellent job arranging my three day Iguazu falls tour from Buenos Aires. Everything was included, except meals. All transport and tour arrangements were executed very well. It was very easy to communicate with the tour operator before and during my trip.
"We had a great tour guide - Lorena Cardenal. She was very calm, extremely knowledgeable about every little detail on Iguazú falls, flora and fauna. She and driver picked us up and dropped us at our hotel and border crossing was so easy with them. She let us spent as much time as we wanted and was cognizant of us taking rest whenever we needed. We saw both sides of Iguazu falls with her. Iguazu falls is so fantastic, no word can describe how beautiful it is and both sides have its own unique features, so see both sides as well as boat ride under water falls on Argentina side was awesome! She even made Matte for us to try, which she made and brought it for us next day. She was so gentle and caring about the park being kept clean. I highly recommend her as your private tour guide.
"Everything went very smoothly. No complaints at all! My guide Jorge was wonderful. I learned so much from him. Be prepared to walk a lot. Be sure to include the boat ride on the Argentina side. It is well worth it, but be prepared to get drenched! If you go to the Brazilian side, don’t think twice about taking the helicopter for -about $125 USD. It will give you a spectacular view even though it is a short ride. ( I didn’t have time to get to the Brazilian side to do it). I understand the hotels are wonderful, so if you go, do two days if you can. Passing all the information on to a travel agent I know to have anyone interested in going to Iguazu Falls to use this company! I flew at 6 am from Buena Aires to Iguazu Falls and flew back at 8:15! It is easily possible to do this Argentina side in a day.
"Jala, our guide as fantastic - fun, informative and attententive. The bus driver was great. All went well.
