Located at the northern extreme of Misiones Province, the Iguazú Falls are the highlight of the Argentine rainforest. The falls were discovered in 1541 by the Spanish conqueror Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca and are the widest and most imposing water falls on Earth. Their name in the native tongue, guaraní, means Big Waters and this is, undoubtedly, the perfect name for them.

Spectacular views walking in the heart of the jungle. This tour visits Iguazu; National Park walking along the paths that cross the jungle and lead to the falls. The lower path runs along about 1.200 metres by the river to see the foot of some of the cascades. The upper path allows the view from the top. After this walk and a short bus ride the tour gets to Puerto Canoas to board a small motor boat to the footbridge over Devil's Throat. The feeling of the magnitude and strength of the water falling is overwhelming and unpaired. The wild noise is so high that it can be heard various kilometres away. The mist over the Devil's Throat is such that endless rainbows are formed.



A different view of this impressive landscape. Departure towards Tancredo Neves International Bridge to cross the border to Brazil. After clearing customs, the tour continues to Das Cataratas Hotel, beautiful building in Portuguese colonial style from where it is possible to get an incredible panoramic view of Devil's Throat and the semicircle of the falls. An elevator allows a different perspective equally spectacular.
