Iguaçu

Recommended stay 3 days/2 nights

The world’s most spectacular waterfalls, a huge national park and the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world, are the pride of the 270,000 inhabitants of Foz do Lguaçu. The waterfalls in the south of the city (on the borders of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil) are a natural wonder. 275 small and large waterfalls make their way between the rocks and the rainforest and fall with an incredible force up to 82 meters deep. Often, rainbows form and water varies depending on the content of lime and minerals. The flora and fauna of the region are extremely varied.

During an interesting half-day excursion, we will visit the spectacular waterfalls on the Brazilian side. A wonder of nature that we can look at close range.

You have a fantastic view of the falls and the Argentine coastline. Then follow a one-kilometer path through the forest and maybe discover birds, butterflies and other small animals. Step by step you will see more and more of these huge waterfalls and end up a few meters from the masses of water that fall on a platform. An unforgettable natural spectacle!

Then take the elevator to the main road. You can enjoy a guided tour of a park of exotic birds, where colorful animals can move almost freely between tropical plants.
