Iguazu Falls unfurls across a tropical frontier of more than two miles of jungle and some 270 individual cataracts, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that demands movement: on foot along boardwalks, by a park train and finally to the thunder of the Garganta del Diablo, the largest single cataract in the system.

THE LANDSCAPE

The Garganta del Diablo and the Falls

The itinerary brings you onto the park’s most dramatic viewpoints to experience the scale and sound of the falls, culminating at the Garganta del Diablo—the centerpiece of the Argentine side.

THE ROUTE

Trails, Boardwalks and the Park Train

Expect varied walking routes and scenic tram-style transfers inside the park that thread jungle paths and viewpoints to give layered perspectives on the cascade system.

THE OPTIONAL

La Gran Aventura — a jungle-and-rapids add-on

For those seeking more adrenaline, the optional La Gran Aventura combines an 8-km all-terrain jungle ride with boat rapids and close approaches to the falls; note the activity has specific age and medical restrictions.

What the day feels like

What the two days feel like

Day two is a full-day guided exploration of the Argentine side—walking trails, park train segments and the arrival at the Garganta del Diablo—before transfers to the airports conclude the program.
