The both sides iguassu falls tour is a must. The falls where absolutely incredible and each side gives a different experience. Big shout out to Silvana who was an amazing guide. Our pick up was on time and we headed first to the Argentinian side of the falls. On the Argentinian side there is lots of walking so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You view the falls from above looking downwards. At this location there is lots of wildlife to see. Silvana was very informative and gave us lots of information about the falls during stops. After this we headed to the Brazilian side of the falls. From this side you see the falls from below. On this part of the tour you can opt to walk around the viewpoints or for an extra cost take a boat tour into the falls (dry or wet) and rappelling. We decided to take the wet boat tour which I would highly recommend. You get to see the falls from a totally different perspective and after all the walking from the Argentinian side it was fun to have a different experience. Also if you do opt to take the wet tour, bare in mind you go right under a waterfall and you get completely head to toe drenched and your belongings so take precautions ! Just some tips if you decide to take this tour - it’s a good idea to take some snacks, the day is very long with lots of walking, and as you’re doing both sides in one day there is not much time to stop to eat - totally worth the hunger but maybe take snacks. Wear comfy shoes as I said, there is lots of walking. Take plenty of money as the tour doesn’t include the entrance fees to the Argentinian side, Brazilian side and take money for food, boat tours or souvenirs. Finally I want to say a big thank you to Silvana, who was attentive, professional, kind and informative. She really kept the day smooth and was such a nice, friendly person. So thank you very much for giving us an amazing day. Totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iguaçu.

The Iguazu Falls are one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world and are visited by over one million tourists every year. There are 275 jumps, where they flow around 1,500 cubic meters of water per second. Regardless of the weather of the time, this wonder of nature awakens various sensations in those who contemplate it. The tour starts at the Visitor Reception Center at Iguazu National Park, in Foz do Iguaçu. Next, the tourists board a modern, double-deck, 72-seat passenger panoramic bus that travels into the park, where the passenger contemplates the fauna and flora to the Falls.

Exclusions: Coffee and/or Tea

DO NOT book this tour with Loumar Turismo agency: 1. The bus took us to Itaipu 1 hour before the tour starts. Why? Who knows. There is a little coffee shop with a view of the parking lot and a souvenir shop that you can spend maybe 5 minutes. So we wasted 1 hour sitting around before the tour. 2. The bus cost R$ 49 for each direction. Uber costs R$ 14... 3. After the tour, we had to wait again for more than 1 hour in the coffee shop (in the extreme heat) for the bus to take us back. Why? It doesn't make sense why we have to sit around looking at parking lot for 2 hours when the tour only lasts 1 hour. It's a complete waste and disrespect of our time. We got so bored and so hot that we ordered an Uber to take us back to town for much less money than the agency bus. --- I recommend: - Take an Uber directly to Itaipu - Buy the entry ticket directly at Itaipu - Enjoy the tour for 1 hour - Order an Uber back when you're finished...

This Eco Sports Adventure is amazing and more natural that I ever imagined. The hosts are truly passionate about sharing there love of the area and the beautiful environment The adventure is not sanitised so you need to be prepared for some nice moderate hiking. After checking in we hiked to the canoe and kayak base camp about 1 km, there were 10 of us plus the hosts, we got our safety gear and safety briefing and went down to the river. My wife and I have been kayaking before so we got a kayak to ourselves, but they have individual vessels if you prefer. The hosts offer as much help and guidance as you need but also give you space to have you own adventure. We made our way down the river about 2 km and set ashore to take the tributary trail to a small waterfall. This is a forest path through the wild and is moderately challenging which adds to the experience of being away from normal conditions. It is probably 2km to the waterfall by which time everyone was in the mood to get into the water (see pictures) The guides showed us the best way to enter and move around in that water (I never took my phone on the Kayak, all the pictures and film are from a host with a go pro helmet cam and distributed later) We probably stayed 30 minutes in the water before heading back to the Kayaks and canoes and paddling back to base camp It was truly a great experience and I would like to thank the Eco Sports team for making my holiday one I will remember. Thank you!!! I will definitely be going back Do not miss this opportunity if you are ever in Foz
