Tour Description

Visit Iguazu Falls, considered to be the largest and the most impressive in the world, and the magnificent national park that surrounds them. The energy, force and and volume of water cascading over 270 vertical drops from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides is incredible!

Our Iguazu Falls experience gives you time to experience the falls from all angles. This is one of the top attractions in South America - a must see!

Iguazu Falls combines well with Buenos Aires and Rio, check out our Signature Buenos Aires to Rio!

Viva's Best Bits...

Iguazu Falls should be experienced from two sides, which are located in two countries - Argentina and Brazil! The Argentinean side allows for an awe-inspiring and up-close encounter, whilst the Brazilian side boasts exceptional panoramic views!

Iguazu Falls is the largest and most impressive waterfalls system in the world made up of 275 individual falls. It is much taller than Niagara Falls and is twice as wide.

Book on a boat to get up close to the biggest open-air shower: the Devil’s Throat. Or get soaked enjoying the energy of the falls as you walk beneath some of the cascades!

Day 1

Iguazu Falls

Upon arrival you will be met & transferred to your hotel

The spectacular Iguazu Falls that straddle the Argentine-Brazil border, are made up of 275 individual waterfalls lining a 2.7km wide horseshoe-shaped gorge. The Falls are located where the Iguazu River cascades over the edge of the Paraná Plateau. The Falls can be viewed from both the Argentinian and the Brazilian sides, the Brazilian side offering a broader, panoramic view, with the Argentinian side offering a series of catwalks that allow you to experience the Falls from close range.

Overnight in Iguazu, Argentina

Day 2

Iguazu Falls - Full Day Argentinian Falls

Early morning pick up from your hotel for your full day of exploring the Argentine side of the falls. This tour always starts early in order to beat the crowds and get the first train to the Devil’s Throat. There are walkways over the islands which take you to a balcony over the falls and the most spectacular view of the entire Devil’s Gorge. You will then have plenty of time to walk the 800 metres of paths on the upper circuit. These new suspended walkways are detached from the jungle surface so as to protect the fauna by preventing disruption of the natural trails. From this circuit you have a higher sight of the falls, providing you with a magnificent panoramic view. It takes around one hour to cover the upper circuit. The lower circuit contains 600 metres of walkways, also detached from the jungle floor, and has great views from below and around the falls. Once you have finished all the circuits, return to the visitor centre where your vehicles will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel. Please note there is some degree of difficulty as the path includes many stairs, particularly on the lower circuit. On completion of the tour, you will be taken to your hotel. Please note this is small group tour and National Park Entrance Fee is included.
