The Brazilian Side of Iguaçu Falls
A visit to the Brazilian side of the famous waterfalls is a highlight of any trip to Brazil. The Iguaçu National Park covers 185,262 ha on the Brazilian side and 67,000 ha on the Argentine side. Both national parks are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Up to 275 waterfalls of the Rio Iguaçu, averaging 60 m high, roar into a semi-circular canyon over a length of 2.7 km. An unforgettable natural spectacle. Our suggestion: a helicopter flight (optional) to marvel at the gigantic dimensions of these falls. You should also plan some time for a visit to the very interesting bird park “Parque das Aves”.
The Argentine Side and the Itaipu Dam
The Argentine side of the falls should also definitely be visited. A mini train takes you through the national park. You then reach the roaring masses of water of the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo) via footbridges. Our suggestion: a breathtaking boat ride just below the falls (optional). Afternoon visit to the Itaipu Dam with the second largest hydroelectric power station in the world. With an installed capacity of 14,000 MW, it supplies power to Paraguay and parts of southern and southwestern Brazil.
Note: visits to the Iguaçu Falls are offered as part of a comprehensive travel package.
