Get ready for an epic adventure that will unveil the beauty of the Iguazu Falls! On this unforgettable journey, you'll have the chance to explore the Argentine side of the falls, appreciating them from different perspectives and connecting with nature's grandeur in its purest form.
Start the tour with the crossing from your hotel in Brazil to the Argentine National Park, where transportation is provided by the famous Jungle Train.
The highlight of the Argentine side is the Devil's Throat, which offers an impressive view. You can stand right on the edge, and the walk from the train station is 2 miles round-trip. The path is completely flat, with no inclines or declines. Facilities and a snack bar are available at the station, and the park provides wheelchairs for those who need them. Be prepared to get wet, but you’ll dry off quickly on sunny days.
The Upper Path provides views of the falls not visible from the Devil's Throat. The walkway extends along the edge of the falls, offering exceptional views. Capuchin monkeys are often seen in the area, so stay alert. The path is 1.6 miles long and flat, with only one direction of travel, so you must continue forward instead of returning the same way.
The Lower Path offers a different perspective of the falls seen from the Upper Path. This path involves climbing over a hundred steps. If you choose the additional boat ride, you can skip the Lower Path walk. During the summer, temperatures at Iguazu Falls can reach up to 45°C (112°F).
After the tour, return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.
