Itinerary
Pass by: The tour starts by an early morning pick-up from selected centrally located hotels at Buenos Aires.
In the morning we will arrive at the airport (Ezeiza or Aeroparque) to take our flight to Puerto Iguazú.
Pass by: When you land after the 2-hour flight, meet your guide at Puerto Iguazu airport and board a private vehicle. Drive towards the waterfalls while your guide provides insight into the region's history.
After a 15 minutes driving, arrive at the new visitors center at the entrance of Iguazu National Park and skip the line with your reserved tickets.
First, go to the Nature Interpretation Center to learn more about the foundation of the park and its local flora and fauna.
Then, climb aboard the park train with your guide, stopping at the Cataratas Station after an 8 minute trip.
At midday, follow your guide to the food center and enjoy a little rest and lunch (own expense) before taking the train to the Garganta del Diablo Station, further into the forest.
Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) is the biggest fall in Iguazu, and the catwalks take you right on top of it! Be surprised and amazed by the strength and volume of water, which creates a permanent fog above the fall.
During your visit along the National Park you will enjoy the falls view of Dos Hermanas, Alvar Núñez, San Martín, Bosetti, el Peñón de la Bella Vista. From there you will have a panoramic view of Garganta del Diablo and Iguazú River Canyon, an unique experience of being part of that natural environment.
Pass by: After spending a day being astonished by the park's many falls and discovering more about this natural treasure, your guide will take you back to the Puerto Iguazu Airport in a private vehicle to catch your flight back to Buenos Aires.
When you arrive at the Jorge Newbery Airpark or Ezeiza Airport, a private driver will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel.

A life list must!
Our tour guide, Fabio, was fun and knowledgeable! With his itinerary suggestions for the day we were able to hike both upper and lower trails of Iguazu National Park (Argentina Side) and go on the boat tour which goes under the falls! The Devil’s throat trail that was damaged in 2023 was closed. Fabio suggested we go to the Brazil side of Iguazu Falls so we could see Devil’s throat water falls (additional fee). Our driver for the day was great and his car was clean! It was well worth the cost to have a private tour because it made it possible for us to do so much in one day and to be on our own schedule. The tour company should advise their clients that even though they are arranging the air transfers from your hotel and airplane tickets, that there will be no tour guide until you reach Iguazu Falls Airport. We had to make a name change on our airplane ticket at the airport and were told by the tour company that it could be done at the airport. The airport transfer car was not clean. The driver dropped us off with no other instructions. We tried to call the after hours emergency number for the travel agency and no one returned our call until AFTER we had resolved the issue on our own.
Ticked off the Bucket List
Our day started very early but the driver arrived on time and passage through the airport was unbelievably fast. Iguazu Falls were phenomenal and certainly lived up to expectations but you will walk so plenty of water and take it easy!! Our guide Augusto was excellent knowledgeable and set the pace accordingly to our wishes. Late flight back to Buenos Aires and pick up all went smoothly. A definite must do!!
