Observe one of the most dazzling demonstrations of nature on this "must-do" excursion to the Argentine side of the falls. Feel the sheer power of the cascades from the catwalks.
Board a gas-propelled train, which will take you to the upper falls circuit and the spectacular Devil’s Throat, the most impressive waterfall at Iguazu. A strategic viewpoint here allows a wonderful close-up view. Iguazu’s dense emerald backdrop is also home to a fascinating variety of flora and fauna, including orchids, toucans and many species of butterfly. Next you will venture down to the lower level catwalks, where you are closer to the Iguazu River and will have the chance for even more breath taking views.
Those keen for a little adventure can combine this half day excursion with an adrenaline fuelled speed boat trip to the base of the falls. It is a great experience for those who don't mind getting wet!! Do note that there is an age restriction of 12 years for the boat tour on the Argentine side.
{Please note that there is an Eco-Tourism Tax of ARG $30 charged (approx. 1.6 USD) to all visitors to Puerto Iguazu at a checkpoint on the main road which is charged to all people crossing the border. Please keep your receipt with you all times while in Iguazu as you may be asked to show it.}
