Monday, February 26 – Buenos Aires – Iguazu Falls, Argentina
We fly to the Argentinean side of Iguazu Falls, where we will be welcomed at Puerto Iguazu Airport by our expert local guide and taken to our hotel located inside of the National Park. This evening, explore the property and spend some time at our beautiful hotel pool, facing Iguazu Falls just beyond. Tonight is a free evening.
Tuesday, February 27 – Iguazu Falls, Brazil
Today we will have the opportunity to cross over into Brazil and into the National Park for more spectacular views of the waterfalls. Walk along the paths following cascades and then walk along the catwalk that leads very close to the bottom of the Devil’s Throat, the largest of the waterfalls. You will be impressed by the panoramic views of the falls like the Two Sisters, Bozzeti, Superior Circuit and San Martin Island, where the movie “The Mission” was filmed. The promenade shows a complete and panoramic view of the falls. Enjoy lunch at the beautiful Belcond Das Cataratas Hotel located inside the National Park. Later, we’ll experience the Macuco Safari. Travel the Macuco Trail in a rustic, open wagon, which allows an unhindered view of the voluptuous jungle in its entire splendor. The guides narrate some of the stories, marvels and mysteries of the subtropical forest surrounded by orchids and butterflies. Walk down the Iguazú Canyon Trail, visiting the picturesque Macuco Falls; penetrate the Brazilian jungle on foot to have a more intimate contact with nature. Shoot the rapids in the Iguazú Canyon from secure open boats (mild rapids). Feel the same emotion as the first pioneers felt on discovering this untouched wild area! We’ll have some free time to enjoy the falls in all of their splendor. Later, we head back to Argentina. This evening is free to enjoy our resort or explore restaurants surrounding Iguazu. (B, L)
Wednesday, February 28 – Iguazu Falls, Argentina
After breakfast, we’ll see the Argentinean National Park. We’ll arrive at the Visitors Center and board a gas-propelled train at the main station, which takes us to the upper falls circuit and the Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo), the most prominent and one of the highest falls. You’ve seen it from the bottom on the Brazilian side and now you can enjoy the scenic lookout point resting on the side and looking over the breathtaking Devil’s Throat. Then, we’ll have the opportunity to walk nearly two miles along the Iguazu River Canyon via the lower circuit and the upper circuit to enjoy the flora and fauna. Feel the rush of water as you see nearly 270 individual waterfalls up close. In the afternoon, enjoy free time to take in the beauty of the falls on your own or partake in an optional excursion. Tonight, you will be completely immersed in Argentine culture in the first speakeasy restaurant in Puerto Iguazu. We’ll be welcomed in the exclusive wine cellar as we begin a night full of immersive experiences. You’ll learn some local hand gestures, learn how to prepare your own wine-based cocktails or learn how to stuff your own empanada. Then, the main meal begins… enjoy a typical Argentine “picada,” learn how to order a steak in Spanish and make your own “alfajor,” a typical dessert from scratch. All of this while enjoying local wines. Not a steak eater? Don’t worry, you won’t go hungry… we have other options just for you. (B, D)
