After being picked up at your hotel in Puerto Iguazu or Foz de Iguazu, head towards the Visitors Center at the Iguazu Falls Gate, on board a comfortable private vehicle, along with your guide. Once at the Visitors Center, walk to the Natures Interpretation Center and get a first look at Iguazu's history.
You can either board the train headed to the Iguazu Falls Station (the first stop), arriving in approximately 8 minutes, or opt for a brief stroll along the Green Trail, which leads to the starting point of the paths leading to both the Upper and Lower trails of the Iguazu Falls.
Then, go back to the train station and take the train to get to the Upper Circuit and visit the 2nd part of this incredible journey. Around 2,400 feet (800 meters) of path and gateways will take you into the forest, wandering above the falls, giving the best views of the entire falls. During this one hour circuit, pass by Dos Hermanas, Bosetti, Bernabe Mendez, M'Bigua falls, among others. Once you are back to the Iguazu Falls Station, have lunch and take time to relax in one of the restaurants.
Otherwise, take the train to its last stop, the Garganta Station, where the biggest fall of the Iguazu Falls is located. In this Sub-Tropical Forest tour, the great variety of ferns, orchids, begonias, birds and butterflies can be observed, as well as the diversity of native species living in the Park. Once at the Devil's Throat Station, after an 18-minute ride by train, walk along the catwalks while enjoying the natural and wonderful scenery around you. Take time to observe as might see small caiman and local birds, lizards and insects. Keep walking along the 3600 feet (1,200 meters) of catwalks until arriving on top of the biggest Fall, called the Devil's Throat.
Then, walk towards the Lower Circuit on the catwalks, lifted above the water and ground, offering a view from the Base of Dos Hermanas, Alvar Nunez, San Martin, Salto Bosetti and Bella Vista rock. Be impressed by the panoramic view of the Devil's Throat. From there, if you booked the Nautical Adventure Experience, get on board a semi-rigid zodiac that will take you under the waterfalls, giving a whole new perspective of this force of nature. During this 1-hour boat ride, appreciate the scenery and then, back on land, hop on a Movie Truck driving you through the jungle towards the Visitors Center. Once you've visited all the circuits, get back to the entrance with your guide where your vehicles will be waiting to take you back to your hotels.
When you finish visiting the falls, we will get back to Puerto Iguazu and take you to your hotel in the city.
This was a great experience. Our guide Christian was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We liked him a lot. I wish we had dressed differently for the boat ride and known that we could have changed our clothes. You get completely soaked from tip to toe. But it was worth it. The falls are amazing. If you are an American and plan to go to the Brazil side, get a visa!! We missed out on that.
Our tour guide Mario was very efficient and proficient in English and Spanish. The tour was mostly Spanish-speaking clientele and thus the English translation seem to be much shorter. Transportation went smoothly. We did not receive any instructions specific to paying for the park entrance. We did not think this would be a problem but we delayed the group because we have not purchased these Park entry fees in advance. Mario our tour guide tried to go online himself but he was unsuccessful in navigating the website. I doubt that we would’ve been successful as we are English speaking only if we had tried to do this in advance. An email with a link to buy these tickets would’ve been most helpful. For this tour make sure you bring a change of clothes. A rain poncho is a waste of time because the temperatures are very hot and you would overheat. We were provided a sizeable dry bag, it would be helpful to bring flip-flops to transition back to your tennis shoes. I was very cautious about mosquito bites, I did not get any of those. But beware the areas that have trash cans that attract bees.
An amazing experience seeing the falls on the opposite side. Definitely a must see!! Our guide, Agusto, was extremely helpful. We would have been lost without him. All in all,it was an incredible trip!!
Guide was inexperienced, spoke poor English, had a very limited vocabulary and gave little information about Iguazu Falls. When we asked questions of her, she gave minimal responses. Since this was a once in a lifetime visit, we were disappointed with our excursion.
Whole trip was a joy. Absolutely must to see the falls. I wasn’t sure about doing the boat ride but we were so glad we did. You really get a sense of the power of the water especially on the rib. Not a sedate ride an absolute thrill. You also get a great and completely different view of them. Go for it.
Incredible views. No words to describe it. Need to experience it. And definitely add the boat tour. It is super fun.,
Gill was a very friendly guide and very patient with the elderly members of our group when they needed rest stops along the walks. He gave us lots of information about the falls and the animals. A great day out - thank you!
We loved the whole tour! Favio was very good at making the tour fit our wishes. We also really enjoyed the boat experience! We got very wet and loved it!
Waterfalls Views and the guide, walking and everything all was good, area was excellent for everybody
I don't see the point of this tour - the guide was nice but he spoke little english and did little for us that we couldn't have done on our own - we learned very little from him - he walked us around the park but we could have done that on our own - very disappointing given the very high cost
Iguazu Falls is an unmissable visit being one of the natural wonders of the world. SPECTACULAR 🇦🇷🇧🇷👍👍👍
We didn't get to do boat ride. Everything was messed up. No one picked us up at airport, then tried to say we were supposed to be at hotel when I had called Viator over a dozen times to confirm provider knew to pick up at IGR. Then told us they went to airport in Brazil versus Argentina. So did not get any of original tour booked and paid for, need refund!
A little bit expensive but it was worthy, our guide was excellent, positive, great talks, amazing day
The limited details in the tour description resulted in our group NOT receiving the tours we thought we had signed up and paid for. Though we did visit both spectacular parks (Argentinean and Brazilian sides) as booked, the tour descriptions are vague. The first issue is that we thought we would have a small, private group tour as I requested for our group of 8. Instead, we were on a large bus with a bilingual group, with hotel pickup and drop off at multiple locations, even including some with airport connections - much like being on a local bus. Since the guide did not provide much information about the area, we ended up paying a lot of money for this inconvenient transportation. The travelers in my group were the only ones on the bus required to pay the entrance fee into both parks. We were surprised to learn this was not in the tour fee. I feel we were taken advantage of, not knowing to ask specifically if this was included. The Falls and the boat experience were fantastic! Our guide was enthusiastic and tried to be helpful, but with so many people with varying needs, it was chaos.
The tour was overpriced. The guide was nice but not informative. Take a taxi and see the falls on your own
Although the boat cruise was enjoyable and lived up to expectations the rest of the tour was quite short and disappointing because access to the Devils throat was no longer available following floods 3 to 4 weeks prior. We felt very let down that we had not been advised of this situation beforehand so that we could have re-booked a trip from the Brazilian side instead which still had access to the Devils throat.
We had an excellent English, speaking guide named Gustavo for a private tour! That is definitely the best way to see both sides of the Falls. Being that the walkway to Devils throat was closed due to heavy, recent rains, he took us to the top of the Melia hotel, for a view of devils throat. Definitely not the same as an up close view would’ve been, but it is not anyone’s fault. Gustavo took his time with us on the walkways and was kind enough to hold our backpack while we went on the boat ride. The boat ride was fun but too short for the price you pay! The only complaint I have is that I was told to purchase my tickets online ahead of time from a message I received from Viator, and I was charged excess fees in Argentina taxEs. Once we were on the tour, I found out we could’ve bought them for a lot cheaper at the gate on Argentina side. Viator needs to inform people that you have options to avoid the excess fees and taxes of $26.
What a truly amazing experience and once in a lifetime tour! You can do Iguazu (Argentina side) in one day, you just need a bit of stamina to walk 20 thousand steps in a few hours. Our guide Sebastian was a true delight, we highly recommend him. Very thoughtful and pleasant, so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and he paced the one day full tour just right so that we saw everything and were not too exhausted. He was super patient, deeply respectful of the local habitat, and knew so many stories and facts about the area. He made the entire experience so much more enriching for us all and was lovely to learn from all day. Now just one wrinkle, Tangol from BA (which is who the trip is contracted through on viator) gave us an earlier start time 7am than the local tour company had on their schedule(8am), so we did get up much earlier than needed only to wait around. This was entirely Tangol’s mistake not the local guide. Communication between them is key. Insist that Tangol puts you in touch with the local guide company so you can confirm it all for yourself.
Fatima was amazing and super helpful, definitely worth the time and money! Falls were awesome of course.
To start, our guide Daniel, was amazing! His understanding of the park was deep and he was willing to share all his knowledge while leading us on an adventure through the jungles(excellent smooth paths). We took multiple paths to see the falls from many angles. We saw monkeys,Toucans and of course a close up and personal view of the top of the falls. This park will take your breath away. This is a must do tour!
Guide picked us up from the hotel and got us into the park, helping us to skip large lines. We visited during Carnivale so crowds were heavy. Our guide was able to prioritize what we did and optimize our time in the park. Of note, you can wear a bathing suit in the boat and change into dry clothes afterwards in a changing area nearby. We were not aware of this and might have opted for this if we had known. It was a great experience overall.
We used Tangol for our private tour. Our tour guide Eddie was very thorough, and paced the tour based on our conditions (tired from a long trip, over 60+ in age, etc.). And their price is very reasonable. I would recommend them.
All vendors were on time and very pleasant. Our English translator for the day at the falls, Jorge, was wonderful. Very pleasant, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Adriana, the park guide, was also very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were able to see the falls and also do the boat trip to the falls even though our flight from Buenos Aires was over an hour late. Jorge and Adriana planned the day so we could do what was most important to us. It has been a pleasure working with Agustin Dominguez on planning the tour. He was very accommodating, and the tour was well coordinated. If we or our friends are ever in need of another tour in South America, you will be the first person we contact.
<p>Our guide was really good and worked hard to make this an amazing experience. It was a long, hot day and after covering 2 of the 3 walks we decided not to make the 3rd. It stated 'moderate walking' and our group cannot agree with that. It was fairly strenuous and in temperatures of plus 30C quite hard. There is a long walk to pick up the train to the Devils Throat and then a long walk from the train and back, so all in all there were a lot of kms covered. Admittedly the views were amazing and the falls are definitely a must see, but if you can do it over a couple of days Argentinian side particularly when it is very hot. Definitely worth doing.</p>
La visione delle cascate impressionante la professionalità della nostra guida il paesaggio meraviglioso
Le bus etait tres propre, le chauffeur et le guide tres gentils et cordials. Les lieux sont propres, incroyable et inoubliables! Nous avons opté pour le speedboat, nous n'avons pas regretté c'etait le meilleur moment de la journée
I don’t regret acquiring the excursion, they told me that I could go alone because it was all marked, but being there I felt happy to be guided, people alone were asking for instructions on how to do things, not only that, we had direct access to the train, which from what I saw, but you have to take a ticket and queue. Hotel pickup was punctual, not mega early, I think it is key to be in the center or closer to the park so you have time to have breakfast. On the way to the park they explained how the whole tour would be, offered the gomon ride and even stopped at the ticket shop if there were people who did not have access to the park (everyone had told me that there was no ticket shop, that I should buy them online before). It’s a shame that the TripAdvisor page doesn’t have a link, or tells you where to buy tickets, anyway buy them by a government reeconomicas page. Everything perfect, well organized. Guides Lucho and Maru drinks. There are smoking areas, which was a relief for a few. Too bad it doesn't include the macuco trail, we still saw monkeys and it was full of coats.
great for health feel such a good air, makes you feel better at the time. I have had another visit case of being with bronchitis and breathing the air from there that is very good with that fog I improved at the time.
