-
Enjoy a fully organized day to the Brazilian side of Iguazú Falls without worrying about logistics. With round-trip transfers and a multilingual guide, you won’t need to navigate transport, park access, or timing on your own.
-
Explore Iguaçu National Park’s panoramic circuit, known for its sweeping, cinematic views of the entire waterfall system. Unlike the Argentine side’s close-up circuits, the Brazilian side gives you the big-picture perspective, ideal for photography and uninterrupted vistas.
-
The Macuco Safari adds a second layer to the experience. After a short forest trail through the Atlantic rainforest, you’ll board a high-powered boat that navigates upstream into the canyon. The boat approaches the base of the falls, entering the spray zone for a high-impact, fully immersive encounter. This segment lasts approximately 25–30 minutes, and you will get wet.
-
If you are departing from Puerto Iguazú, your tour includes border crossing by vehicle. A valid passport and any required visa are mandatory. Travel time may vary depending on border traffic.

Getting started
You’ll start inside Iguaçu National Park, where your Macuco Safari voucher is exchanged at the check-in desk. From there, you board eco-friendly electric vehicles for a 2km ride through the jungle, with guides pointing out native plants and wildlife.
