Iguaçu Falls
Full-day air and coach excursion from Sao Paulo
This full-day excursion takes you to one of Brazil’s, indeed one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. During the day, huge rainbows arc over the 275 cascades that make up the falls, which pour some 390,000 cubic metres of water a minute and drop from as high as 80 metres at the point where the Iguaçu River is around 2,700 metres wide.
We pick you up from your hotel and take you to Sao Paulo Airport for the flight to Iguaçu Falls, where you will be driven to the Argentinean side of the falls.
After a quick customs check, cross the Tancredo Neves Bridge over the Iguaçu River, which forms the border between Argentina and Brazil. Once in Argentina, you take the scenic highway up to the Argentine Iguaçu Park and board a train before arriving at the upper walkways, which get you close to the falls, the rainforest and the suspended platform at the very brink of Devil’s Throat – the largest of the waterfalls. You also visit San Martin Falls. Later if weather and time allow, we stop briefly at the Three Borders point, where the Paraná and Iguaçu Rivers, as well as the borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, meet. We then stop for lunch at a local restaurant for an authentic Brazilian barbecue.
After lunch, return across the border to the Brazilian Falls and the National Iguaçu Park and drive through lush sub-tropical vegetation en route to the falls. Stroll along a trail descending into a canyon that offers panoramic views of more than 240 falls before taking a glass elevator up the cliff face for a view from the upper deck.
After your visit, we transfer you to Iguaçu Airport for your flight to Sao Paulo. On arrival in Sao Paulo we drop you to your hotel.
This excursion is by air and coach, includes airport transfers, English-speaking guide and lunch. Entrance ticket to Iguaçu National Park is not included and is charged separately.
