Itinerary
1
Iguazu Falls — Brazilian Side
Begin at the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls, where panoramic viewpoints reveal the full breadth of the 275 falls stretching along the Iguaçu River. Elevated walkways bring you progressively closer to the water, culminating at platforms where the mist and sound of the falls are fully immersive.
2
Parque das Aves — Bird Park
Visit Parque das Aves, the most visited attraction in Foz do Iguaçu after the falls themselves. Walk through large immersive aviaries housing rare and exuberant Atlantic Forest bird species, and learn about the conservation work being done to protect them.
3
Macuco Boat Safari
Board high-powered boats for the Macuco Boat Safari, a nautical adventure that navigates directly beneath the waterfalls. Passengers are brought within meters of the falls themselves — waterproof gear is advised as getting drenched is part of the experience.

Panoramic Flight over Iguazu Falls
The day concludes with a 10-minute shared scenic flight above the entire waterfall system. From altitude, the full scale of Iguazu Falls — impossible to grasp from the ground — becomes visible as an unbroken arc of cascading water cutting through dense forest.
