Itinerary
Day 1: Buenos Aires – Puerto Iguazu
Stop At: Puerto Iguazu Argentina
Make your own way to Jorge Newbery Airfield in Buenos Aires for your 1.5-hour flight to Puerto Iguazu, which sits just across the Iguazu River from Brazil and is only 11 miles (18 km) from Iguassu Falls.
When you arrive, you’ll be picked up by your guide and driven to your chosen hotel. The rest of the day is yours to have dinner in town (own expense) and do what you wish.
Duration: 8 hours
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: Your selected hotel in Puerto Iguazu.
Day 2: Iguacu National Park, Brazil side (B)
Pass By: Puerto Iguazu Argentina
This day start with a pick-up at the hotels of Puerto Iguazu after breakfast.
Stop At: Iguazu Falls, Foz do Iguacu, State of Parana 85855-750 Brazil
With your guide, walk for roughly one hour (1.2 miles) along a 3,280-foot (1,000-meter) path from Das Cataratas Hotel that will take you to a fabulous viewpoint of Devil's Throat, where the largest amount of water pours through Iguassu Falls. At 262 feet (80 meters), Devil's Throat is Iguassu’s largest individual waterfall and a definite must-see.
You’ll then have time to buy lunch at one of the restaurants in the park, or, if you’ve brought a packed lunch with you, have a picnic at one of the park’s several scenic spots. You may also wait to have lunch when you get back to Puerto Iguazu. Your guide can give you suggestions for restaurants inside the park.
In the early afternoon, return to Puerto Iguazu and spend the rest of your day at leisure.
Duration: 4 hours
No meals included on this day.

Pass By: Puerto Iguazu Argentina
This day starts by a pick-up in Puerto Iguazu's hotels
Stop At: Parque Nacional Iguazu, Ruta 101 Km 142, Puerto Iguazu 3370 Argentina
Explore the area in three parts, both with your guide and during free time to roam on your own. Start with a 2.5-mile (4-km) train ride to the point where the Iguazu River turns into Iguassu Falls. Disembark the train here to visit a viewpoint that overlooks Devil’s Throat, allowing you to enjoy another perspective of this stunning natural wonder.
Next, tour the Upper Circuit, a 45-minute uphill walk that rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of many of the waterfalls, including Dos Hermanos, Adam and Eve, Bernabe Mendez, Mbigua and San Martin. From here, you can rappel down if you’re feeling adventurous, or ride down to the bottom of the falls in a 4x4 vehicle.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Garganta del Diablo, Iguazu National Park, Puerto Iguazu Argentina
Lastly, head with your guide to the Lower Circuit, where an 0.8-mile (1.3-km) trail provides incredible photo opportunities of lower falls such as Bossetti. You’ll then be transferred to the Visitor Center, where you can take the train back to Devil’s Throat.
During the day, you’ll have time to buy lunch at one of the restaurants in the park (your guide can offer suggestions), or bring a packed lunch with you from Puerto Iguazu to enjoy eating in the great outdoors.

Once you get to Iguasu, the tours were great. Communication with the initial tour company was exceptionally poor and required many emails and phone calls to Argentina to confirm the flight and hotel. The Saint George hotel has a problem controlling mold in the bathroom. and the restaurant has issues with flies over the food during breakfast.
Once we started the trip everything went to plan. We had the same guide for both the Brazilian and Argentinian trips and she was good, well supported by her colleagues. The hotel Saint George was fine though air conditioning was not working which meant for some uncomfortable nights, the transfers were good. In hindsight, as seasoned travellers we would not recommend doing this tour as you may as well do it yourself and save yourself the money. We had a lot of issues trying to get information out of the local tour company which meant getting up at 5am in the morning in order to contact them in order to confirm our flight and hotel details
Can't miss!
Fantastic experience and excellent hotel. The hotel staff were extremely helpful. The guide, Michael, on the 3rd day to the Brazilian side of the falls was superb. The guide to the Argentinian side of the falls on day 2 was poor.
Everything was fine except that I had forgotten that the park entrance fee was not included in the tour price so had to come up with 20 US each in cash for the two of us on the day of the tour. I would rather had paid the entrance fee ahead of time with my credit card.
Tour can be finished in 2 nights instead of 3 nights. Nothing to do on third day afternoon but flight was scheduled on fourth day evening ! Tour for Brazil side only half day so please consider to add option tour such as visit Bird Park or the famous water dam to made it comprehensive.
