The experience

The package starts with a shared transfer from Puerto Iguazu Airport to your hotel, then gives you the rest of the day to settle in. The following morning, you spend a full day on the Argentine side of Iguazu National Park, where lower and upper walkways loop through and around the falls. You'll ride an ecological train to reach the Devil's Throat, the largest cascade, then walk the boardwalks at your own pace, stopping to photograph wildlife and plants. Lunch is on your own in the park.

On the third day, a 3–4 hour half-day excursion takes you across the border to the Brazilian side. Although Argentina holds 80% of the falls, Brazil's vantage points offer the panoramic sweep that shows the full scale of the water. You walk the boardwalks here too, including the Salto Santa María crossing, and get a closer angle on the Devil's Throat from the opposite bank. If you've booked the Parque Das Aves option, the bird sanctuary visit slots into this same day. Its entrance fee is separate. A shared transfer then takes you back to the airport for your onward flight.

A bilingual guide accompanies you throughout both falls tours. Bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent and a light rain jacket or towel. The spray reaches the boardwalks. If you're traveling with infants, specialized seats are available on request at booking. Note that your arrival flight must land before noon, or your departure flight must leave at 4:30 p.m. or later, to fit the Brazilian side into the schedule. You'll need a valid passport and must confirm you meet Brazil's visa requirements before booking.

What time does the tour start each day?

The tour begins the day you arrive in Puerto Iguazu with a shared transfer from the airport to your hotel. The full-day Argentine Falls tour starts the following morning, and the Brazilian side half-day excursion departs after breakfast on day three. Exact times depend on your hotel location and flight arrival.

What should I bring for the falls tours?

Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen, insect repellent, a sunhat, sunglasses and a light rain jacket or small towel. The boardwalks get wet from spray. Pack a small backpack for water and personal items, but do not leave food visible where coatis (wild animals) might see it.

What happens if my flight arrives late in the evening?

If your flight lands at 10 p.m. or later, the airport transfer must be private rather than shared, and additional charges apply. You can also take a taxi to your hotel at no refund. Let the operator know your arrival time when booking so they can arrange the correct transfer type.
