Eight hours, three circuits, and the jungle beyond the falls

A local guide leads groups of up to 15 people through roughly 5 miles of trails and walkways, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. The tour combines waterfall viewing with soft adventure in one day.

The experience

The day starts with hotel pickup in Puerto Iguazu and heads straight to Iguazu Falls, where 275 waterfalls cascade across the Argentine side, some reaching 262 feet high. Your guide leads you through three distinct walking circuits: the Upper Circuit, Lower Circuit, and the trail to Devil's Throat, the most famous spot in the park. You'll cover roughly 5 miles on winding trails and boardwalks, moving between viewpoints as the guide explains the geology and ecology of the falls.

After the falls, the tour shifts into the jungle for the included activities: trekking through the forest, navigating the river by boat, and driving through the jungle in a 4x4 truck. These aren't separate add-ons. They're built into the day. The small-group format keeps numbers at 15 or fewer, which means less crowding at the viewpoints and more flexibility when moving between sites. The whole experience runs 8 hours from pickup to drop-off.

Wear comfortable shoes that can get wet and bring a change of clothes and insect repellent. The combination of water features and jungle means you'll encounter both. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. A valid passport is required at booking for all participants.
