In the afternoon you leave for Puerto Iguazu on a bus with a toilet. The overnight bus has seats that recline 160 degrees or more.

Puerto Iguazu

Puerto Iguazu is a small, relaxed town and the gateway to the falls, recently named one of the New Seven Natural Wonders. You arrive around noon at the Iguazu bus station and are driven to your hotel (shared service). The rest of the day is free.

Parque Nacional Iguazu

After breakfast you are picked up for a full-day shared tour of the Argentine side. You see the jungle and the river up close. At the national park you show your ticket and enter (entrance fee not included).

Extra fee

At the park

An ecological train takes you to the Devil's Throat, the main one of the 275 falls in the Iguazu system. If the train is crowded, you go first to quieter places.

Iguazu Falls

After the Devil's Throat you walk either the lower or the upper circuit. The Lower Circuit goes into the forest toward the heart of the falls, with its humidity, sounds and smells. The Upper Circuit gives panoramas from the top, and the elevated walkways cross the drop line of several main falls. You return to the hotel in the late afternoon. A boat tour is recommended as an optional upgrade.

Parque Nacional do Iguacu

After breakfast you are picked up for a half-day shared tour of the Brazilian side, which lets you see the falls in their entirety. At the national park your guide helps you buy the entrance tickets (not included), and a bus takes you to the viewing walkways.

Extra fee

Iguazu Falls

After a short briefing you walk the half-mile viewing walkway with panoramic views of the front of the falls. At the end you reach Floriano Fall and its heavy mist.
