The experience

The day starts with pickup around 9:30 from your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu in an air-conditioned vehicle. On the drive to Iguacu National Park, you'll stop for 30 minutes at a chocolate shop: a souvenir stop built into the route. Once you reach the park, the guide takes you straight to the trailhead without queuing at the entrance. This is the real difference between a guided tour and going alone.

The boardwalk walk itself is about 1.2 km, moving through panoramic views of the falls and ending at the Devil's Gorge, where you get a close look at the main jumps. At the top of the falls, you can take stairs or a panoramic elevator down to the Port Canoas area, where the Iguacu River opens up below. That area has a restaurant, snack bar, craft shops and facilities. Once you've finished, the vehicle picks you up and returns you to your hotel.

The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese and stays with you throughout, explaining the falls and the park as you walk. Park entry and transport are both included, so there's nothing to arrange at the gate or the curb.
