Witness the Unique Power & Might of the Iguazu Falls from the Argentine Side (private tour)
Walk into the roar of Iguazu Falls, where rainforest boardwalks bring you close to an immense wall of falling water. Nearly twice as tall as Niagara and almost three times as wide, the falls reportedly moved Eleanor Roosevelt to exclaim, “Poor Niagara!”
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, Iguazu is a natural spectacle worthy of its worldwide acclaim.
Its 275 waterfalls can unleash almost 3.5 million gallons (13 million liters) per second—enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools.
Around the falls, the Atlantic rainforest shelters more than 2,000 plant species, about 400 bird species and 80 kinds of mammals—a living world that makes the setting as remarkable as the waterfalls.
This is a full-day private tour.
A Speedboat Adventure Up-Close the Iguazu Falls
Feel the roar of Iguazu Falls from the river as our speedboat races toward the falls and their drenching spray. This exhilarating, close-up encounter offers a completely different perspective from the one you get along the boardwalks.

The Brazilian footbridge lies across the river from the falls, opening up a sweeping view of their immense scale. It’s a perspective that perfectly complements the close-up experience on the Argentine side.
This is a half-day private tour.
