Description

Doing this day tour highly depends on flight availability for the date you need to travel, which, in our experience, tends to be limited during the December to March period (peak season). To secure your spot and reasonable flight prices, we recommend booking as early as possible. If you choose to book through our suggested tour, the company will take care of coordinating all necessary transportation.

The adventure begins with a pick-up service from your hotel in Buenos Aires, taking you to the airport for a two-hour flight to Puerto Iguazú. Upon arrival, a private guide will take you to Iguazú National Park for a full-day visit.

You’ll explore the Upper and Lower Circuits, enjoying the breathtaking views of the falls. You can opt for the Gran Aventura boat ride – just be sure to inform your guide. At midday, you’ll have lunch at the food court or at the Meliá Hotel. Later, you’ll take the train to the Devil’s Throat Station to witness the largest waterfall at Iguazú.

At the end of the day, you’ll head back to the airport for your return flight to Buenos Aires, where a driver will take you back to your hotel. Visitors often highlight the natural beauty of the falls and the excellent service from guides, who adjust the itinerary based on your preferences, ensuring a unique and memorable experience.

Itinerary

The experience starts early in the morning with a pick-up service from your hotel or accommodation in Buenos Aires, taking you to Jorge Newbery or Ezeiza International Airport for a direct two-hour flight to Puerto Iguazú. Upon landing, you’ll be greeted by a private guide and transported in an air-conditioned vehicle for a 15-minute drive to the Iguazú National Park.

Upon arrival at the park’s visitor center, your first stop will be the Nature Interpretation Center, where you’ll learn about the park’s history and local flora and fauna.

Next, you’ll board the park’s train with your guide, heading toward the Upper and Lower Circuits. If you prefer, you can also reach these trails on foot.

As you walk along the paths, you’ll be amazed by the magnitude and stunning views of the falls from the Argentine side. The trails are well-marked and easy to navigate. For those seeking more adventure, the Gran Aventura boat ride is also available. We highly recommend informing your guide if you’d like to include this in your day so that the itinerary can be adjusted accordingly.

At midday, you’ll enjoy a break and have lunch, either at the food court or at the luxurious Meliá Hotel. Afterward, you’ll take the train to Devil’s Throat Station.

The Devil’s Throat is the largest waterfall at Iguazú, and the walkways will take you right over it. During your visit, you’ll also enjoy views of the Dos Hermanas, Alvar Núñez, San Martín, Bosetti, and Peñón de la Bella Vista waterfalls.

At the end of the day, your guide will take you back to Puerto Iguazú Airport in a private vehicle for your return flight to Buenos Aires. Upon arrival at Jorge Newbery or Ezeiza Airport, a driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or accommodation.
