Today, after breakfast, we will visit the Iguaçu Falls—recognized among the seven natural wonders of the world, from the Argentinean side. The Iguaçu Falls is the most visited natural attraction in the province of Misiones and one of Argentina's most impressive. Walking paths with different gateways offered by the park provide different views of the falls and their fantastic scenery. The lower circuit offers more contact with nature. In contrast, the upper course provides an overview of all the drops and delta islands, as well as an impressive view of the Garganta del Diablo, where we can feel the fury of water falling in many horseshoe-shaped falls. Still on the Argentinean side, we’ll combine the essence of the Iguazu National Park: jungle and falls in a single ride. We enter the jungle through the Yacaratiá narrow track in units designed for this particular environment, where the natural and cultural richness will be presented along the way. This 5km car ride ends at the forest base Puerto Macuco. Going 100m down we arrive at the dock where we will meet the boats that lead us 6km through the canyon of the lower Iguaçu river towards the waterfalls while enjoying the rapids. We’ll go to the base of Salto Tres Mosqueteros to see the set of Brazilian and Argentine falls, with the Garganta do Diabo crowning the canyon’s view. Then we will reach the peak of emotion when facing the incomparable Salto San Martín, second on the scale and the largest approachable jump by boat. Finally, we land at the dock located in front of San Martin Island, where we will return to the runway system, through the Lower Circuit. After the activtities, we'll return to our accommodation.
