Puerto Iguazu to Brazilian Falls, Bird Park and Itaipu Dam Day Trip by Minivan

This day trip leaves from Puerto Iguazu on the Argentine side and crosses the border to visit three sights in Brazil. Hotel pickup and drop-off, a local guide and an air-conditioned minivan are included. The outing lasts about eight hours. The first stop is Iguacu National Park, with a walking trail to the falls on the Brazilian side. Next comes Parque das Aves, a bird park where toucans, parrots and macaws can be seen close up. The last stop is a panoramic visit to the Itaipu Power Plant, which the operator says supplies 20% of the energy used in Brazil, enough for 40 million inhabitants. Entrance tickets for the national park, the bird park and the Itaipu panoramic visit are not included, and neither are food and drinks. Visas for the international crossing should be checked in advance. The departure time is set on Brazilian time, so travelers should check the local time zone in Argentina. Up to 15 travelers can share a booking, guiding is available in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and the walk suits all fitness levels.
