The experience
How do you see Iguaçu Falls without a car or a private guide? This tour picks you up in Foz do Iguaçu and takes you to both the bird park and the falls in a single morning or afternoon, with entry to both sites included. The vehicle is air-conditioned and the guide speaks Portuguese, English and Spanish, so you get the story as you move through each place.
Parque das Aves comes first. You walk outside through closed aviaries where hundreds of bird species live, many of them from across the world. The immersion nurseries recreate the natural habitat of the animals there, and you can get close enough to photograph them. After the bird park, you head to Iguaçu National Park and the Cataratas trail. The walk starts at the Bosseti jump and San Martin Island, then descends through different landscapes of the waterfall system. At the end of the trail you reach the base of the falls themselves: close enough to feel the mist and the roar. The return trip goes up via the Cataratas Panoramic Elevator, which gives you a view of the Iguaçu Canyon from above.
The tour takes four to five hours total. It is shared with other tourists, so you travel with a group. The pace suits all fitness levels, and children from age one are welcome. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and the tour is wheelchair accessible.
Is this one for you?The tour walks the Cataratas trail on foot, so you need to be comfortable with a descent and return by elevator. The pace suits all fitness levels, and the four to five hours includes both sites, so you see both the birds and the falls without splitting the day.
