Come and admire the hundreds of cascades at one of the most visited natural sites in the world !

A two night stay, perfect to absorb the atmosphere on your Iguassu falls tour

The Iguassu Water Falls are an enormous natural spectacle where mountains of water surge out of the jungle, in the heart of the Iguaçu National Park.

Hundreds of waterfalls stretch out in a gigantic horse-shoe shape, nearly three kilometers wide, splitting the river between Brazil and Argentina. There are 19 main falls, each with its own name. You will discover 14 of them during your visit to the Argentinian part. The remaining 5 will be revealed during the visit in Brazil.

The National Park itself is an exceptional place as it is probably the best preserved subtropical forest in the country. It is home to an abundance of wildlife including many birds whose songs will accompany your visit. You will certainly meet other intriguing inhabitants of the park such as the mischievous Coatis. These tropical racoons will not hesitate to come and grab loose hanging belongings, so keep an eye out!

The forces of nature at work in this unique place are astonishing: during periods of flood, the flow can exceed 40 million litres of water per second, the equivalent of 11 Olympic swimming pools! This illustrates just how enormous this natural formation is. One can not remain indifferent to such a spectacle, all visitors are struck by the incredible beauty and power that eminates from the falls.

During the visits, you walk along several kilometres of footbridges that wind between the falls and massive boulders. There are also small islands that offer views that would otherwise be inaccessible. Thanks to the great infrastructure, you can enter the heart of this enchanting setting and forget the rest of the world. Along the lower walkways, water is projected several tens of meters high, its violence at the foot of each of the waterfalls raises glorious sprays of foam. The misty sheets that emerge, reveal incredible halos of rainbow colors, giving the landscape a magical feeling. You will leave Iguassu with the satisfaction of having experienced something that you will remember for the rest of your life !

Add the Macuco Safari to your Iguassu falls tour

The Macuco Safari will be one of the most memorable moments of your stay, combining a forest walk and an exhilarating trip in a RIB boat.

It offers you a completely different view of the falls as well as a first encounter with the characteristic subtropical forest of the region.

The excursion begins by exploring the lush plant and animal life in Iguaçu National Park, comfortably installed in an electric vehicle.

For about 3km you will be able to admire this perfectly preserved environment thanks to the park’s creation in 1934. For the last 500m you will finish the walk on foot, along a forest path immersed in this still natural landscape. At the end, you will arrive at the landing stage to take the boat to the foot of the waterfalls.

After putting on a lifejacket (compulsory), you will board a twin-engined boat specially designed for this type of adventure.

Comfortably seated in the powerboat, you will go up stream to the canyon where the falls are. Rocked by the current but perfectly controlled by the professional drivers, the boat will take you to a unique view point where you will feel the thrill of being close to these powerful waterfalls. The high point of this ride is under the falls, deafened by the noise and the volume of water, you will feel the might of nature, an unforgettable experience during your stay at Iguassu!

Warning ! A raincoat will not help you on this trip, the best thing to do is wear a swim suit and leave your clothes in the rentable lockers on site or wear light clothes you can get wet and take a change of clothes along. Similarly, only specialized electronic equipment such as all-terrain cameras will withstand the water.

Visit the tropical bird sanctuary and the immense Itaipu dam

The Iguaçu bird park is a unique place where humans and animals can really interact!

Set right in front of the entrance to the Falls Park, you will enjoy this peaceful and exotic tour after the excitement of the Macuco Safari.

On your visit to the bird park, you will discover enormous bird sanctuaries that you can walk through, and be surrounded by hundreds of multicolored birds freely and happily fluttering by your side. One of the enclosures is devoted to macaws, the famous parrots with bright and shimmering colours. You can also see the aviary devoted to birds of the Pantanal region, with red ibis and toucans as well as birds from the Atlantic Forest such as the mutuns with their curious ruffled crests.

For reptile lovers, the “Covil dos Répteis” is home to lots of iguanas, crocodiles and snakes, including one of the biggest species in the world, the famous anaconda!

Daring travelers will even be able to pose with some of these animals, to bring back a souvenir worthy of the greatest explorers of the region!

The Itaipu Dam is a huge hydroelectric power station located on the River Paraná, straddling Brazil and Paraguay, forming an arch 7km wide and 225m high. The lake created by the dam has covered up the largest cataracts in the world, the “Sete Quedas” or Guaíra Falls. This titanic construction took 8 years of work to build. Day and night, more than 40 000 workers alternated shifts in difficult weather conditions including heat waves and heavy rains.

As the highest performing nuclear power plant in the world, the dam has been listed among the seven wonders of the modern world according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. By way of comparison, the maximum flow of two of its water releases is equivalent to the total flow of the site of the Iguassu Falls! Its annual electricity production is also proportionate to its size, it could supply a country the size of France for two and a half months!  It’s worth visiting this site to take in the amazing ingenuity of the human race.
