Today enjoy a half day tour of the Argentinian side of the mighty Iguassu Falls.
Comprising approximately 275 separate cascades, the falls form a curtain of foaming water that crashes over a vast granite amphitheatre and into the jungle below. Resembling a reversed letter "J", most of the Iguazu River plunges down through an area known as The Devil’s Throat, with the rest spreading out over a wide shelf that splits into hundreds of different waterfalls. There are a series of walkways that lead above, below and behind the falls, with breath-taking views. You can also hope to see monkeys, toucans, parakeets and other wildlife in the rainforest.
When the Devil's Throat section is inaccessible due to flooding, we will visit the Three Borders Landmark instead. This is where the Paraná River meets the Iguazú River - which marks the meeting point of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. There is a fair with local handicrafts, and from this point you can see the flags of all three countries.
There is also the option to take a ride through the rainforest, followed by a thrilling boat ride rafting over rapids to San Martin Island, Three Musketeers Falls, the thundering Devill's Throat and San Martin Falls (supplement payable). You will get wet on this excursion, so take a change of clothes and shoes. This excursion is not suitable if you are pregnant or have heart, back, neck or other medical conditions.
Note: Take your passport for the border crossing. Also take rain gear, as you will get wet visiting the Argentina side of the falls.
