Iguazu Falls Brazil Side Tour - From Puerto Iguazu

OPTION 1: Iguazu Falls Brazil Side (Panoramic Boardwalks)◀

Pick up in Puerto Iguazu and border crossing between Argentina and Brazil.

The tour begins with pick-up from your accommodation in Puerto Iguazú. Once the group is assembled, you will depart towards Iguaçu National Park.

You will cross the Tancredo Neves International Bridge, also known as the Fraternity Bridge, which connects Argentina and Brazil over the Iguazú River. Upon arrival at the border control, you will stop to complete the immigration procedures for exiting Argentina and entering Brazil. Your guide will assist with the process and coordinate the stops to help make the crossing as smooth as possible. Please note that waiting times may occur during this procedure. Depending on the traveler’s nationality, a passport, ID card, and/or visa may be required.

Once border formalities are completed, you will continue your journey to Iguaçu National Park.

Arrival at Iguaçu National Park

After approximately 12.4 miles (20 kilometers), you will arrive at the park, where you must present your QR code or printed ticket to gain entry.

💡 HOWLANDERS TIP: If you have not been able to purchase or print your tickets in advance, your guide can assist you with this upon arrival at the park. However, we strongly recommend avoiding this option, as it may involve delays and long queues.

Guided hike along the main trail of the Iguazu Falls

Upon arrival at the Brazilian side of the park, you will enjoy a guided walk along the main trail, made up of well-maintained panoramic boardwalks. This is an easy and accessible route, suitable for all types of travelers. Along approximately 3,280 feet (1,000 meters), these walkways offer some of the most spectacular views of Iguazu Falls.

Since most of the waterfalls are located on the Argentine side, this viewpoint allows you to enjoy privileged panoramic views of the falls. In front of Floriano Falls, you will access a viewing platform via an elevator, where you can take in one of the most impressive panoramas of the park.

If you have not selected Option 2 with Macuco Safari, the tour ends here and you will return with your guide to the starting point for your transfer back to your accommodation in Puerto Iguazú.

Macuco Safari

If you choose Option 2, which lasts approximately two hours, you will remain inside the park to begin your adventure aboard open electric vehicles that will take you around 1.2–1.9 miles (2–3 km) through the heart of the jungle.

Along the way, a guide will explain the park’s ecosystem and help you identify subtropical flora such as bromeliads, orchids, and ancient trees, as well as local fauna if you are lucky enough to spot i

Jungle walk

After the vehicle ride, your guide will accompany you on a 656-yard (600-meter) walk through the jungle, sharing fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna. This short hike offers a closer connection with nature and the chance to spot wildlife along the way.

Iguazu Falls Boat Ride

After the walk, you will arrive at a facilities area with lockers and restrooms, where you will prepare for the most intense part: the boat ride at Iguazu Falls. You will receive safety instructions, put on your life jacket, and leave your belongings before boarding.

You will then board a zodiac speedboat and begin navigating the Iguazú River through sections of strong currents and jungle canyon scenery. As you approach the falls, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic and the sound of the water grows louder.

The highlight of the experience comes as the boat moves directly toward the base of the waterfalls. You will enter the zone of greatest impact, where you can feel the full force of the water up close and be completely surrounded by the mist of the falls.

End of the Activity and Return to Puerto Iguazú.

After the boat ride at the falls, you will return to the dock inside the park, where you can dry off, change, and relax after your Macuco Safari experience.

After a short break, you will rejoin the group and head back to the park entrance to take you back to your accommodation in Puerto Iguazú.
