About this activity

Experience the best of both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu Falls in one unforgettable private day, with an itinerary designed around your group. Enjoy private air-conditioned transportation and the knowledge of an experienced local guide from our trusted team, with assistance throughout the border-crossing process and park logistics.

The Brazilian side reveals the impressive scale of the falls through spectacular panoramic viewpoints, while the Argentine side brings you much closer to the waterfalls through rainforest trails and elevated walkways.

Because this is a private experience, the pace and itinerary can be adapted to your interests, travel plans, weather, crowds and park conditions. Rather than following a rigid group schedule, you can enjoy Iguazu with greater flexibility, personal attention and time to appreciate each side of this extraordinary natural wonder.

Itinerary

Cataratas del Iguazu - Lado Argentino

5 hours Admission not included

Explore the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls, where rainforest trails and elevated walkways bring you remarkably close to the waterfalls.

Your guide will organize the best available circuits according to park operations, weather conditions, crowds and your group’s pace. Depending on the areas open on the day of your visit, the experience may include the Upper Circuit and access toward the iconic Devil’s Throat.

Along the way, enjoy impressive viewpoints from above and beside the falls, travel through the Atlantic Forest and learn about the waterfalls, local wildlife and the natural history of the Iguazu region.

Transportation inside the park, including the ecological train when required for the selected circuits, is part of the National Park’s visitor system. Access to specific trails and viewpoints is subject to park operations and weather conditions.
Parque Nacional do Iguacu

3 hours Admission not included

Experience the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls, famous for its spectacular panoramic views of the waterfall system.

Follow the approximately 1.5 km main walkway through the Atlantic Forest, stopping at several viewpoints along the way. As the trail progresses, the views become increasingly impressive until reaching the area facing Devil’s Throat, where you can experience the power, sound and mist of the falls from close range.

Along the route, your guide will share information about the waterfalls, Atlantic Forest and local wildlife while allowing plenty of time for photos and to enjoy the scenery.

The Brazilian side offers the perfect panoramic complement to the closer perspectives experienced on the Argentine side. Access to specific viewpoints is subject to National Park operations and weather conditions.
