The experience

The day starts with pickup at your Buenos Aires hotel around 6 a.m., followed by a private transfer to the airport for a direct 2-hour flight to Iguazu. A 15-minute drive from the airport brings you to the park entrance, where your reserved tickets let you skip the line and board the park train immediately. You'll explore both the upper and lower trails, learning about the local flora and fauna as you move through the forest.

The centerpiece is Devil's Throat, Garganta del Diablo, the largest waterfall at Iguazu. The catwalks bring you right to its edge, and because this is a private tour, you control when you reach it and how long you stay. You choose the order of the park's attractions and the pace that suits you. A midday break gives you time for lunch at your own expense before you continue exploring. Your guide handles the logistics: they escort you back to Puerto Iguazu Airport in the afternoon for your return flight, and a driver meets you at Buenos Aires airport to take you back to your hotel.

Round-trip flights, park entry, all transfers and a private professional guide are included. The guide speaks English or Spanish. Return flight times vary depending on availability, typically between 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., and the operator will confirm your exact schedule after booking.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

How much time do I actually spend at Iguazu Falls on this day trip?

After landing in Iguazu and the 15-minute drive to the park, you have most of the day to explore the upper and lower trails and reach Devil's Throat before heading back to the airport for your evening flight. The exact hours depend on your return flight time, which the operator confirms after booking.

What is Devil's Throat and why is it the main stop?

Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo) is the largest waterfall in Iguazu, and the park's catwalks bring you right to its edge for a direct view of the water. It's the signature moment of the Argentine side of the falls.

Do I need to arrange my own transportation to the airport in Buenos Aires?

No. A private driver picks you up at your hotel and takes you to the airport. The same service returns you to your hotel after you land in the evening. Both transfers are included.

Can I choose which parts of the park to visit and in what order?

Yes. Because the tour is private to your party, you set the pace and decide the order in which you'd like to explore the park's attractions, giving you flexibility within the day's schedule.

Is lunch included in the tour?

Lunch is at your own expense. You have a midday break to eat before continuing your exploration of the park.
