Highlights

  • Enjoy a fully organized day to the Brazilian side of Iguazú Falls without worrying about logistics. With round-trip transfers and a multilingual guide, you won’t need to navigate transport, park access, or timing on your own.
  • Explore Iguaçu National Park’s panoramic circuit, known for its sweeping, cinematic views of the entire waterfall system. Unlike the Argentine side’s close-up circuits, the Brazilian side gives you the big-picture perspective, ideal for photography and uninterrupted vistas.
  • The Macuco Safari adds a second layer to the experience. After a short forest trail through the Atlantic rainforest, you’ll board a high-powered boat that navigates upstream into the canyon. The boat approaches the base of the falls, entering the spray zone for a high-impact, fully immersive encounter. This segment lasts approximately 25–30 minutes, and you will get wet.
  • If you are departing from Puerto Iguazú, your tour includes border crossing by vehicle. A valid passport and any required visa are mandatory. Travel time may vary depending on border traffic.

Pair a rainforest trail with a Macuco Safari boat ride that takes you right into Iguaçu Falls’ mist for big splashes and close-up views.

Getting started

You’ll start inside Iguaçu National Park, where your Macuco Safari voucher is exchanged at the check-in desk. From there, you board eco-friendly electric vehicles for a 2km ride through the jungle, with guides pointing out native plants and wildlife. At the end of this section, you follow a short forest trail down toward the river and the boat dock.
