Description
Nothing in the world of water compares to, or is more impressive than the natural spectacle provided by the stunning group of 275 waterfalls that make up the Iguassu Waterfalls.
Located a few kilometers from the of the Iguassu River with the Paraná River, the waterfalls takes you to a state of awe with their size, water flow and strong current.
The geologic change that gave birth to the Iguassu Waterfalls took place nearly 150 million years ago and shook the earth crust around the globe. At the Iguassu region those changes created a gigantic canyon, full of rock steps through which the grand Iguassu flows, producing a huge steam cloud and a deafening sound.
The average flow of the Waterfalls is around 1.800 m3 per second, for an average amount of 10 million liters per second. During the rain season, the stream of the Iguassu River increases and shows an even more beautiful spectacle.
The biggest waterfall is the 'Devils Throat', which is 90 meters high. The volume of water poured down creates a cloud of drizzling water that can be watched from kilometers away.
The adventure begins at the entrance to the Macuco Safari, located 25 kilometer down Cataratas Highway inside Iguassu National Park. Board open jeep-towed wagons that allow for an unobstructed view of the scenery along the trail. During the stretch of three kilometers through the jungle, multi-lingual guides will point out examples of the flora and fauna of the Park.
Orchids, palm trees, bromeliads, centenarian trees, and even wild animals that occasionally cross the trail are pointed out by the guides.
The hike is the second stage of our journey. On a stretch of 600 meters, is a hike on a trail that leads to a waterfall called Macuco Falls, perfect for a refreshing dip on hot days, spills down from a height of approximately 20 meters. The last stop is the Macuco Safari docks on the Brazilian side of the Iguassu River.
In the water, inflachart bi-motor boats await us. They're constructed to withstand the rigors of the excursion, as well as being secure and efficient vessels. Before embarkation, passengers receive life-vests and plastic containers in which to protect photographic and filming equipment. The boat travels up-river passing the canyon facing the rapids at a speed that allows for scenic viewing.
Rocks, animals and ample amounts of greenery complete the scenery until the base of the Falls is reached, next to the great horseshoe know as the Devils Throat.
Enjoy a waterfall shower, rainbows, blue sky, mist and water in abundance.

Simplemente perfecto. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Si están por Foz de Iguacu, no se lo pierdan.

Nos gustó
Cumplió, aunque esperaba un poco más por el precio. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. El recorrido está bien pensado, no se repite ni da vueltas de más. Me quedé con las ganas de más tiempo en Cataratas do Iguaçu. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos.

Ideal para conhecer a cidade
Uma das melhores coisas que fizemos em Foz de Iguacu. O ritmo era confortável, nem corrido nem chato. O guia lembrava o nome de todos, um detalhe que a gente valoriza. Se voltarmos a Foz de Iguacu, repetimos.

Buena opción
Buena relación precio calidad. Se agradece que venga con autobús con aire acondicionado. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. El wifi que prometían no funcionaba.

Melhor do que esperava
Faria de novo sem pensar duas vezes. Passar por Cataratas do Iguaçu já valeu o tour todo. Guia excelente, com muito conhecimento da história local. Tivemos tempo bom em Cataratas para fotos com calma. Tudo pontual e bem organizado. Uma experiência que vale cada minuto.
