Itinerary
After breakfast, the guide will pick you up from you hotel located in downtown Iguazu (selected hotels in Puerto Iguazu or Foz do Iguaçu). Once you board the bus (group option) or the mini-van (small-group option), you will head to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu National Park.
The Iguazú National Park (Brazilian side) has an extension of 185,000 hectares. Upon arrival to the Visitor Center, you will enter by a portal individually, so carrying capacity of the park is controlled. Then a bus addresses you to start the walk in the park and will lead you to the beginning of the gateways where the route is 1,200 meters on the path Iguazú River Canyon. In this starting point of the route, there is a panoramic view of Argentine jumps, this is a stage suitable for taking pictures. Moving in the route, the Iguazú River Canyon can be observed, the Salto Rivadavia and Three Musketeers, among others. Towards the end of the tour up to the lower lookout you will see Devil's Throat, this point is about 200 meters away.
This wonderful setting is further enhanced by the permanent formation of rainbows. The tour ends near the Floriano leap where an elevator is installed and is used by seniors and people with disabilities, which raises directly to the parking level of the coaches. The alternative is to use the path that leads you to the same meeting point.

Traveler reviews
Wonderful value tour of Brazilian Iguazu Falls
Excellent tour. Guide was attentive to all in the tour. Driver knew his stuff. Iguazu Falls is beauty and magnificence beyond words. The Brazilian side is worth doing and has exceptional panoramic views. The only criticism I have was that the van was a little hard to get into, but was comfy once inside.
Just fabulous
The most amazing experience - just loved it. The Falls are overwhelming in their size and the sound of the thundering water. A trip of a lifetime.
Simply breathtaking
This was a superb tour. The falls from the Brazilian side of the park are simply breathtaking and it was truly an outstanding experience. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and knew how to read the group. There were only 6 if us on the tour and he made sure we got to know each other which made it more enjoyable. He was kind when I was slow on the stairs, and didn't rush me at all. I cannot recommend this tour enough, and if I could I would give it 6/5 ⭐
A bit deceptive and frustrating
When I chose this tour, which is not cheap, I had the expectation of having a bit of the overall view of the cataract, especially the central part called the Devil's throat. Meanwhile, the Basque was only a little after a cache on the Argentine side, and far away from the central part of the waterfalls. And also the pilot of the lanch made the question of approaching one of the falls on the Argentine side and give us, twice, a bath of cold water. Then, it came back with speed causing the thermal sensation to leave us quite cold. A bad-taste joke. The walk through the forest was interesting.
All you need to see in Foz in one day
The sites thenselves are an awesome experience. I would highly recommend going to the Itaipu power plant even if you think that it's not something that interests you. It's massive and the views are very spectacular. The transport was organised superbly. I do not have a single complaint.
