What an excellent experience. I was not quite sure what to expect and I was blown away by it all. My recommendation is that you start your journey at the last stop and walk backwards as the last stop is where the best and most powerful falls are. Also if possible start early to avoid the crowds as it does get crowded.

After you will make stops in the Muslim Mosque, Buddhist Temple and Ecomuseum of Itaipu.
You’ll go to the majestic Omar Ibn Al-Khatab Mosque built in 1983. It is no wonder a Mosque was built in Iguassu Falls, since it is proportionally the biggest Islamic community in the country.

This was a great tour and all of the tour guides were extraordinary. The pickups were always on time. They went out of there way to make my tours great even helping me send postcards at a post office. We visited everything noted in the description and they helped me book two additional tours to make the most of time in Iguazu. I can’t recommend them enough.
The communication was not great for this tour initially. No airport pickup mentioned or when asked they did not respond about it. My tour guide was Nilsa and she is an amazing tour guide and woman in general. I was lucky to get her for the Argentine side, Brazilian side and the city tour. She really cares about your enjoyment and goes the extra mile to ensure you have the best time. Day one was amazing - tour to the Argentinian side of the falls - make sure you pack your passport and vaccination card and wear a comfortable pair of shoes as there’s a lot of walking- you get a little wet but not too much. Day two, I thought would be a tour to the Dam via mini bus or car but was actually a bus tour that I had to pay for - if it’s windy ensure you pack a scarf and wear long sleeves as the bus gets cold. The windows are ‘closed’ via a thick plastic covering but it’s still slightly open. It is a hop on/ hop off bus where they let you get off for a few minutes at a time to take pics then you get back on. Day 3 we went to the Brazilian side of the falls and this was stunnnnnning I also did the boat and helicopter rides that I’d 100000% recommend as both show different views. Make sure you wear sandals and clothes you don’t mind getting soaked. Day 4 was the city tour which was really good as Nilsa showed me different areas in the city. I’d def recommend this to everyone and anyone - you HAVEEE TO see both sides of the falls and I’d recommend on different days as it does get tiring. The city tour and dam tour can be done in one day tbh. All in all an amazing tour and cost effective. They also dropped me at the airport which was great.
This trip was fantastic! The weather was super cold the day we arrived at Foz do Iguaçu. The tour bus we took was open space on the upper deck and we could feel the strong chilling wind biting our face throughout the journey till we arrived at our destination. We walked the long trail that lead us to the world's second largest waterfall. It was enormous! The scenery was beautiful.
Spectacular. Those who do not believe in God, ah..., from the moment they are in the cataract will believe. I was only on the Brazilian side, but, as I was told, the Argentine side is wonderful. It's worth it. I only found that the prices of meals are high for the standard of the Brazilian citizen. Unfortunately, given that it is one of the wonders of the world, there are many foreigners, well therefore, the high values of crafts, meals, orders etc.
I visited Foz in two different times: August 2019 where everything was perfect and now on Dec/22 where I was amazed with the muvuca, queue for everything, absurdly crowded city and at the same time, many restaurants closed, especially at night. I already know very well the rhythm of the south, but this time I had a lot of difficulty at dinner. One of the nights I had to appeal to the Shopping that was crowded, had no place to sit, restaurants with pan in the system, it was pretty boring. The city is beautiful, clean, organized. We love Foz. But in high season, never again!!! To cross to Argentina, it was taking 3 to 7 hours! We weren't, obviously. In 2019, there was no queue. I transited freely and went to Argentina several times, including at night. This time, he couldn't get near the bridge! This is crazy!!!
The power of the cataract is something incredible without a doubt one of the great wonders of the world. A tour that has to be done and appreciated by our entire nation!!
I was in Foz do Iguaçu in January, it was very hot and the waterfalls were not so crowded, but it was a wonderful experience, besides the waterfalls there are several attractions in Foz do Iguaçu like the Buddhist temple and some good restaurants.
Recommend for accommodation in Foz the Hotel Tarobá Express, good price, excellent service and close to everything, also recommend for car hire in Iguaçu Rent a Car the best in the region and good prices, with tourist advice and good tips.
Excellent panoramic view, as well as services, transfers in the park, very accessible for elderly people.
Wonderful place! One of the wonders of the world for sure! 1st world structure! Expensive restaurant but part of... Unforgettable!!!
You do not need to stay in expensive or luxurious resorts to enjoy Foz do Iguaçú. A clean hotel with air conditioning and a pool solves perfectly. Better book the money to rent a popular car and get to know various restaurants in the city. The rental car gave us freedom, comfort and autonomy. Good to book by the app of the renters. Staying at the mercy of tourism companies, vans and the like is very boring. Many attractions are tourist appeal.......go by taste and pocket choose what to visit. I consider impermeable cataracts and Itaipu Plant. Even being at a resort, we chose to eat out at lunch and order iFood at dinner. It was the best thing we ever did. We ate super well and with prices better than prices practiced by the hotels. Great food (VIDE TRIPADVISOR). In January the heat is Surreal. In Paraguay, visit Shopping China and have lunch at SAX. To enter Argentina use RG (professional passport not valid!) or passport.
Organized place of receptive and honest people. We were very well received and took advantage of the whole city in 7 days of tours, reserving two days for shopping.
Amazing place. The cataracts are simply sensational. The city has several cool bars and restaurants and with good prices and other tourist attractions very tops!!!
Meeting Foz do Iguaçu was an experience that exceeded my expectations. Visiting the waterfalls is an experience that needs to be lived by all Brazilians but Foz is more than that: Foz is a richness of cultures and diversity! I loved seeing the mosque, the nearby Arab candy shop, the Buddhist temple, the amazing Itaupu plant and the bird park. Besides the sights the city is clean and organized, a pity I have stayed only 2 days.
