Great fun tooling around in a big zodiac through, over and especially under the falls of the mighty Iguacu river. A bit pricey though, and that is why only four stars...

Staying at Hotel days Cataratas, we booked a trip on the Iguassu river that started with a bicycle ride 9km through the jungle to the river, then a boat trip and kayaking. If you haven't been on one of the rivers in the Amazon basin, then this is a must. The river is wide and slow up from the falls,... More

It was breathtaking. On the brazil side you see much more beauty and wide open landscape than on the other side. Great place to be!

The noise coming from this mighty river is awesome and the amount of water streaming over the falls is so huge in volume one has to see it to believe it especially coming from a country such as Australia which was in drought at the time.

This is something that everyone should have a go at - as well as visiting both sides of the falls (Argentine & Brazilian). Protect your camera with plastic - it is worth taking one for close-up shots of the falls (from underneath!!) and don't worry so much about yourself - wear swimshorts if you can - or just shorts.

From the "Three Countries Marker" on the side of Puerti Iguazu, Argentina, the mouth of the Iguacu empying into the Parana river is impressive. Additionally, while stading at the blue and white Argentine marker, the marker of Brazil is visible across the Iguacu, and the marker of Paraguay is visible across the Parana.

we did not have the time to go for a ferry ride on the river as our whole time was spent trekking the national parks on both sides... however, after the lower circuit, we took the free ferry to san martin isle and did the slightly strneuous trek there... the views of the falls at the end of that trek...

After a walk of approx. 20 minutes into the rain forest, you arrive at the little boats. These boat brings you to the falls. This is really a life time experience.
