Iguazu Falls Mate Tour

Enjoy a traditional visit to the amazing Iguazu Falls, and explore a bit more about the culture, the Mate and nature in La Lorenza

Our three-night program includes classic visits to both national parks to see the Iguazu Falls, both from the Argentine and Brazilian sides. Both parks are excellent and offer different perspectives of the same natural attraction. Declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Iguazu Falls are a must-see during your visit to South America. To this traditional program, we add a very interesting activity at the La Lorenza complex, located very close to Puerto Iguazu, where you can enjoy nature and learn more about Yerba Mate, the typical traditional drink of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil: Mate.

Iguazu Falls: The Argentina Side

After breakfast, we will start our second visit in the area of Iguazu Falls. We will visit the argentinian side of the falls. Yes, the Nationa Park is called Parque Nacional Iguazu, and offers around 8 kilometers of walkways in three primary circuits: the Devil’s Throat, accessible via the Ecological Jungle Train, the Lower Circuit, and the Upper Circuit. The excursion commences with our guide picking you up from your hotel. Transportation to the park, inclusive of admission, marks the inception of the trail exploration. The excursion spans the entire day, concluding at approximately 5:00 p.m. Naturally, you have the option to incorporate an activity such as the Great Adventure, blending a jungle truck tour with a boat excursion culminating beneath the cascades, enriching your visit with adrenaline. Following this, return to the hotel and enjoy your evening with optional activities like attending a Tango Show or indulging in a gastronomic affair with The Argentine Experience.

DAY 3 - IGUAZU FALLS

Visiting La Lorenza: Taste the Mate

Finally, after breakfast, we will begin our last activity. It starts with pick-up by our vehicle from your hotel, to take you to La Lorenza. Once there, we venture into a jungle trail, abundant in plant and bird species. Along this interpretative walk, we invite you to observe some natural processes that make this ecosystem so dynamic and unique. A typical Misiones-style house is the perfect place to delve into the local culture and present our national drink: mate. In front of a small fire, we prepare with our own hands this popular infusion. We share the history and tradition of this popular beverage: the Guarani, the influence of the Jesuits, the current production of yerba mate, and the secret importance of this infusion for Argentinians. The visit concludes in our gallery overlooking the imposing Paraná River, with something delicious to taste.

The route has no slopes and is of LOW difficulty. Please inform in advance of health problems and allergies, as well as dietary restrictions. The tour is not available for children under 6 years old.

The activity lasts between 3 and 3.5 hours, plus the time it takes for transfers. So, we can conclude that it is a 5-hour activity. It can be done in the morning between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm or in the afternoon from 4:00 to 7:30 pm (in winter, the activity is done from 2:30 to 6:00 pm).
