Itinerary

Day 1 Iguazu Falls

Today, we’ll wave goodbye to Rio and transfer to the airport for an included flight. Iguazu Falls, meaning “Big Water” in Tupi, is a magnificent natural wonder with 275 waterfalls, including the thunderous Devil’s Throat.

Straddling Brazil and Argentina in a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s a haven for wildlife and home to the Bird Park and the mighty Itaipu Dam, the world’s largest hydroelectric plant in production. We’ll have the bulk of the day to get settled at our hotel, relax, or explore the surrounding area before we gather for an included dinner.

Day 2 Iguazu Falls (Brazilian Side)

Prepare for a day of breathtaking natural wonders as we stand before one of the most incredible spectacles on Earth. The 275 cascades of the Iguaçu River form an enormous semicircle on the Brazilian side.

After an included breakfast, our journey begins with a brief shuttle through a lush expanse to an over-water walkway that’s perfect for both dramatic selfies and nature photography. The path culminates in a panoramic view just downstream from the Devil’s Throat.

Next, we’ll make our way to the nearby Bird Park, a massive sanctuary nestled in native forest. Home to over 1,300 rescued birds, including the nearly extinct Mutum of Alagoas, the park offers up-close encounters with toucans, owls, macaws, and even reptiles like caimans.

We’ll cap off our visit with a relaxing, included lunch at the Flamingos Lake café, where we’ll unwind with a drink as elegant flamingos glide by. We’ll have the afternoon and evening at our leisure, with the option to gather for dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 3 Day 3 Iguazu Falls (Argentinian Side)

Today, we cross into Argentina to explore the wilder side of Iguazu Falls. After breakfast, we’ll begin the day with a transfer and then a scenic ride aboard the ecological train through the lush national park, arriving at the trailheads for three unforgettable circuits.

We’ll walk the lower circuit for an up-close encounter with the roaring cascades (expect to get misted), then continue to the upper circuit, where panoramic walkways reveal sweeping views over the Iguazu River. Midday, we’ll enjoy an included lunch.

This afternoon, get ready to feel the full power of Iguazu Falls on a thrilling boat ride beneath the falls. We’ll board 4×4 safari trucks, journeying about 3 miles (5 km) through the Yacaratiá trail to Puerto Macuco, where we’ll board zodiacs.

Hold on tight as we speed through swirling rapids toward the mighty Devil’s Throat, getting completely soaked as we pass directly beneath roaring walls of water.

This evening, we’ll remain in Argentina for a fabulous Farewell Dinner at The Argentine Experience, an incredible restaurant known for its multi-course tasting menus.

As we dine together one final time, we’ll reflect on our journey through Brazil and Argentina, the memories we’ve made along the way, and the friendships that will last long after.

Note: Guests will need to bring a change of clothes for dinner. All clothing will be safely stored in our vehicle during the day’s activities.

Day 4 Departure

After an included breakfast, guests will enjoy a complimentary transfer to the airport. Safe travels home, and thanks for joining us in Brazil and Argentina!
