Iguaçu Falls

Set in a magnificent subtropical humid forest, the Iguassu River plunges and crashes in a series of tiered falls. The 275 falls are over three kilometers wide and 80 meters high, which make them wider than Victoria, higher than Niagara, and more beautiful than both. Neither words nor photographs do them justice; they must be seen and heard. The falls were a holy burial place for the Tupi-Guaraní and Paraguas people thousands of years before they were "discovered" by Europeans. In 1986, the international commission of UNESCO declared the region a World Heritage site. You may very well see variations in the spelling of the name of the falls. In Brazil, it's Iguaçu; in Argentina, Iguazú; and in Paraguay, Iguassu.

Please note: Bring sturdy walking shoes and rain gear.

Itinerary

Day 01

Met ao arrival at Foz do Iguaçu Airport and transfer to the wonderfully located Hotel das Cataratas deep inside the Iguaçu National Park. The falls are just a short walk from the hotel. Time to enjoy the Brazilian side of the falls before sunset

Day 2:

Travel to the Argentinean side of the falls for a walk along a series of catwalks over the falls to the famed "Devil's Throat" which some consider to be the best view of the falls. We then take to a narrow dirt road in jeeps inside the 67,000 acres of National Park forest with 2,000 varieties of plants. During the trip you will see, bromelias, orchids, lianas, philodendron, fungus, and noble trees. After the 2 mile drive it.s a 600-meter walking trek, passing by the picturesque Macuco Falls, to the end of the trail at the banks of the Iguaçu River. Here you will board a twin-engine boat specially designed for this river's sailing conditions. Cruise into the Iguassu Canyon, shooting several rapids and arrive at the very base of the majestic waterfalls. As the experienced pilot maneuvers in the mist of the falls themselves, you will have a completely different view of the fabulous Iguassu Falls.

On the way back to the hotel, visit the Bird Park, which is set in 17 hectares of unspoiled subtropical forest. Visitors follow a path for 800 meters through the forest passing through some of the largest aviaries, where the birds fly free, and can be studied and photographed without the restriction of netting and cages. Then transfer to your hotel for dinner and overnight. (B, L, D; Hotel Das Cataratas)
