Iguazu Falls
3 Nights Featuring Iguazu Falls from Argentina and Brazil
Looking to discover even more of South America during your travels? Start your Journey with 3 nights savoring one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. At first sight, Eleanor Roosevelt once said “Poor Niagara!” in exclamation to the sheer size of Iguazu Falls, being taller and nearly twice as wide as Niagara Falls. A collection of more than 200 cascades, the site of tons of water rushing off the cliffs, and the mist rising amongst the jungle is a magical site to see. The diverse wildlife and pristine landscape will remind you of the glories of nature.

Extension Highlights
Memorable Experiences, Scenic Views, and Exciting Moments
Day 1 – Arrive Iguazu
Your Journey extension begins when you are transfered to the Domestic Airport for your flight to Iguazu. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by your local host where you will then transfer to your hotel for check in. Enjoy time to relax and spend the afternoon at leisure before dinner this evening in the hotel's restaurant.
Day 2 – Iguazu Falls (Argentine Side)
After breakfast, your adventure begins on the Argentine side of the falls! On different footbridges, we will visit the heart of the waterfalls, appreciating them from different angles. We will visit the lower circuit and feel part of nature—refreshing ourselves with waterfall drizzle. On the upper circuit, we will stop at different viewpoints, and then reach the balcony at Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat). This is beyond doubt the most amazing of all the falls: water falls from 262 feet (80 meters). Then board zodiac boats with your trusted guide and prepare to navigate three miles through the lower Iguazú river on these thrilling speed boats. You will be crossing one mile of rapids and get into the Devil’s Throat Canyon approaching the water falls. Travel through the Canyon of the Iguazu River, until the falls. After enjoying the view from the calm side of San Martin Island, sail to the Tres Mosqueteros (Three Musketeers) waterfall for a breathtaking view of Devil’s Throat. After that, sail along the shore of the island until the most exciting part - the San Martin waterfall, a wonderful and unforgettable experience as it’s the largest waterfall any motor-boat can approach safely. After your thrilling adventure on the falls, enjoy lunch and then back at your hotel to enjoy the rest of your evening at leisure.
Day 3 – Iguazu Falls (Brazil Side)
After having breakfast at the hotel, embark on a sightseeing tour of Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. Iguazu National Park bears the name of the river serving as northern border, which means "great waters" in the Guaraní language. While taking in the magnificent sight of the falls, you will also get a great opportunity to discover the 2,000 different species of flora, over 500 different kinds of birds and approximately 80 different mammals that surround the tropical rainforest of the falls. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before crossing the border and returning to your hotel for the evening at your leisure.

Unfortunately, guests in wheelchairs will not be able to participate in the tours on this extension.
Enrichment Journeys will do everything in our power to ensure comfort through our third-party providers, including air-conditioned buses and comfortable accommodations where applicable. However, some areas cannot be accessed by coach, so our drivers will get you as close to sites as is legally allowed. Sensible, rubber-soled walking shoes are strongly recommended. Historical sites often do not have elevators, escalators, or ramps due to the age of the building/structure. Steps can be steep and uneven. Based on crowds and traffic, order of visits may be changed. You may have to walk a moderate distance to transfer to coach stations and airport terminals. Time spent on the road and traveling can be long, so you will need to be prepared for stretches of down time in between destinations.
Wheelchair access at many sites is limited. A fold-up wheelchair may be able to be stored on the bus but requires prior arrangements. Guests must be able to transfer from their chair to the transportation. Guides/drivers are not allowed to lift or push wheelchairs, so guests requiring physical assistance must travel with a companion who can assist. Motorized wheelchairs and scooters cannot be accommodated on this group program.
Included airfare is from select airports only. To inquire about a different airport, please contact your Personal Vacation Manager.
Enrichment Journeys is committed to providing remarkable experiences at extraordinary value. As a result, airlines and routes are selected to maximize that value and may involve multiple stops and extended layovers versus non-stop or direct flights. Passengers wishing to utilize specific carriers, direct/non-stop flights, Business Class upgrades, or to extend their time in any of our beginning or ending destination cities may do so by contacting Enrichment Journeys and inquiring about the Custom Airfare Program. There is a $100 per person charge for this service, however this charge will be applied toward any flights or upgrades you choose to purchase. The $100 charge must be paid prior to receiving a custom air quote.
Please note a Brazil eVisa is required to participate on the Iguazu Falls Brazil tour.
To travel internationally, you must have a passport in good condition, and it must be valid for at least 6 months after the last day of your trip. Visa requirements change frequently and for various reasons. As a result, our Personal Vacation Managers are not always able to provide visa information. The best way to obtain up-to-date information regarding visa requirements is to visit the official US government website for Americans traveling abroad, Travel.State.Gov (Canadian citizens should visit https://travel.gc.ca/, for all other countries please visit your government website or local embassy), which details specific information on the countries you would like to visit, including visa requirements. You may also use a third-party visa service, such as Expedited Travel. These services require an additional service fee but make the process of applying for a visa much simpler.
To extend a hotel stay at the beginning or end of your Journey, please speak to a Personal Vacation Manager for assistance in making those arrangements.
If you are interested in customizing your Journey, pairing it with a different cruise, or arranging a private tour for your party, you may be interested in our Private Journeys program. You can learn more about this program here, or speak to a Personal Vacation Manager for more information.
