Day-by-day itinerary
Iguazu
Staying for 2 nights, with 2 tours included
Day 1: You arrive in Iguazu
Flight arrival in Iguazu.
Depending on your flight arrival time you will have time to go first to your hotel or you will be taken directly to your tour and then to your hotel.Behold the Breathtaking Panoramic Views of Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian Side
Take in the sweeping panorama of Iguazu Falls from Brazil. Picture waterfalls stretching roughly the full length of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge: with 80% of the falls on the Argentine side, Brazil offers an extraordinary view of their sweeping scale.
Follow the footbridge toward the falls as mist reaches your face and the roar grows around you. From the panoramic balcony, watch water plunge below and look across to Devil’s Throat—a dramatic complement to the close-up views from Argentina.
This is a half-day private tour.
Day 2: Iguazu
Witness the Unique Power & Might of the Iguazu Falls from the Argentine Side
Walk into the roar of Iguazu Falls, where rainforest boardwalks bring you close to an immense wall of falling water. Nearly twice as tall as Niagara and almost three times as wide, the falls reportedly moved Eleanor Roosevelt to exclaim, “Poor Niagara!”
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, Iguazu is a natural spectacle worthy of its worldwide acclaim.
Its 275 waterfalls can unleash almost 3.5 million gallons (13 million liters) per second—enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools.
Around the falls, the Atlantic rainforest shelters more than 2,000 plant species, about 400 bird species and 80 kinds of mammals—a living world that makes the setting as remarkable as the waterfalls.
This is a full-day private tour.
