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.

"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.
