For R$ 140 each, we had a small ride on a electric buggy through the trees, followed by a short walk downhill. The 'eco' part of the tour ended there and we were treated to a speedboat ride where we covered in a blast of refreshing water which nearly knocked my contact lenses out. Glad we wore swimwear. There are... More

I live here and have done this high speed boat trip up the Iguassu river into the gorge of the Iguassu Falls several times. I don't cease to enjoy it! It's very expensive, like almost everything in Brazil nowadays but, since you've come so far to enjoy one of the World's 7 Wonders, I encourge you to do it! Why?... More

Fun trip divided into three parts. A 20 minute ride in an open top electric cargo vehicle. The seats are comfortable, but the ones near the front are difficult to get into and out of for short people. The guide will explain some of the vegetation, natural formations, and animals in the area. My guide could speak English reasonably well,... More

Some say it’s the best fun they have had with their pants on, You can rent a locker for 5 Brazilian Real, I feel when you are paying US95 for this trip it should include the locker. That aside you will get wet very wet, If you are at the front of the boat you get a better view and... More

Macuco Safari is amazing. After a long day under a hot sun, all you want is to get a shower under the falls. As a last activity, choose the Macuco Safari. After the "shower" you will feel renovated. Also, inside the boat, down there in the river, you will have a incredible view of the falls. More

This is a must on the Brazilian side of the park. I never thought that paying to have someone try to nearly drown me could be so much fun! More

The boat went up through the rapids to the base of the first fall. Then it took us into the fall we got soaked to the bone. it was very exciting and exhilarating. The power and force off the water combined with the noise was just incredible. More

This was a fun experience consisting of a jeep ride into the jungle where the forest is explained to you by the guide, then a 1km walk through the jungle (if you're not fit or struggle with steps, this may not be for you), and finally a short boat ride to the Falls. The boat ride is what it's all... More

I hesitated at first, weighing the price for the time spent of this ride. Boy was I impressed! This was an amazing ride up close and personal to the bottom of the falls. The highlight was getting soaked as we went deep into the crash zone of the devils throat, and we couldn't see anything around us. Don't hesitate, just... More

This is a phenomenal excusion on the Brazilian side of Iguacu Falls. The whole trip lasts approximately 2 hours and costs R$ 140 per person. It represents good value for money as it really is a boat trip of a lifetime!! You will get relatively wet on the trip. There are lockers at the boat jetty to leave some dry... More
