Brazilian Side Iguazu Falls & Macuco Safari: All Tickets Included

See the Devil's Throat from the walkway, then ride the rapids close enough to feel the spray

A six-hour tour of the Brazilian side of Iguazu National Park combines three vantage points: the Visitors' Center and walkway overlooking the Devil's Throat, a panoramic elevator view, and the Macuco Safari's open-air towed car through rainforest. The second half is a boat ride up the Iguassu River to the Three Musketeers falls, where the boat approaches close enough for a brief soak. Park entry, transport from your hotel, and a professional guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese are all included.

The experience

Six hours covers two separate experiences on the Brazilian side. The first half stays on land: you start at the Visitors' Center to learn about the park, then walk the main viewpoint where you see the colossal Devil's Throat and watch for birds, butterflies and small mammals like coatis. A panoramic elevator lifts you higher for a different angle. Between sections, Porto Canoas sits there as a gastronomic center and souvenir shop if you want to eat or browse (meals are not included). The guide travels with you throughout and speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese.

The Macuco Safari begins after the park section. An open-air towed car takes you down a forest road where you see orchids, bromeliads, centenary trees and wild animals in their habitat. That ride ends at Porto Macuco, where you board a boat to navigate the Iguassu River itself. The boat approaches the Three Musketeers falls close enough that everyone gets a brief soak in the water: the operator calls it an unspeakable emotion. You'll have time to photograph the landscapes and rainbows along the way.

Your hotel pickup and return are included, as are all park and safari tickets. The vehicle is air-conditioned and holds a small group. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with a baby.

What is the Devil's Throat on the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls?
