Guided tour

Pickup available

    • Board a helicopter at Iguazú Falls and spend 10–15 minutes above one of the world's largest waterfall systems, with Devil's Throat directly below and the subtropical rainforest stretching to the horizon on every side.

    • Choose how you arrive — hotel pickup from Puerto Iguazú with border crossing assistance, hotel pickup from Foz do Iguaçu on the Brazilian side, or go straight to the heliport yourself with no transfers required.

    • The aerial view reveals both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of Iguazú Falls simultaneously — a perspective that no ground-level trail, boat tour, or walkway can replicate.

    • Flights are subject to weather conditions — it's recommended to check with the operator on the day of your visit, and a full refund is available if the minimum of 4 passengers is not met.

    • 10-minute helicopter flight over Iguazu Falls

    • English-speaking guide throughout the journey

    • Round-trip transfers from Puerto Iguazú or Foz do Iguaçu, (as per option selected)

    • Comfortable transport by bus/minibus, depending on group size

    • Assistance for border crossing procedures on Argentina departures

    • Entry to the Puerto Iguazú National Park in both Argentina and Brazil

    • Food and drinks

  • You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.

  • Take in panoramic views of Iguazú Falls on a 10–15 minute helicopter ride, with transfer options available from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides.

    Getting started: Your journey begins at your chosen departure point — hotel pickup in Puerto Iguazú or Foz do Iguaçu, or directly at the heliport on Av. das Cataratas, Foz do Iguaçu. If crossing from Argentina, your guide assists with border procedures before the short safety briefing at the helipad.

    What to expect:

    Iguazú Falls

    Iguazú Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the world's largest and most impressive waterfall systems, straddling the border between Argentina and Brazil. This helicopter tour offers a rare aerial perspective, revealing the full scale of the falls and the surrounding subtropical rainforest in a single sweeping view.

    Features

    • Devil's Throat: Witness the immense power of the falls' most dramatic section, where water plunges into a deep chasm, creating a constant mist visible from above.

    • Binational panorama: See both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of Iguazú Falls at once — an angle impossible to experience from the ground.

    • Rainforest canopy: Observe the lush rainforest that frames the falls, highlighting the region's rich biodiversity and natural beauty.

    • Flexible departure: Choose hotel pickup from Puerto Iguazú or Foz do Iguaçu, or make your own way to the heliport for a direct boarding experience.
