Witness the world’s largest waterfall system from every angle, seeing it from both Argentina and Brazil

Straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, Iguazu Falls forms the world’s largest waterfall system, best appreciated from both sides. In Argentina, walkways lead above and below the cascades for close encounters with the water as it plunges toward the Garganta del Diablo. Crossing into Brazil reveals a contrasting, wide-angle view of the entire horseshoe of falls, ending near the base of Devil’s Throat. Together, these perspectives show the full force and character of this UNESCO-listed wonder.

Visit both the Argentinian and Brazilian side of the Falls
Get up close and personal to the falls with an optional boat ride
Enjoy the rainforest flora and fauna inside a World Heritage National Park

Itinerary

Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

You are collected and transferred to the airport for your direct flight to Iguazu. Upon arrival, you are met and join a shared transfer to your hotel.

You have the rest of the afternoon free to explore the town of Iguazu.

Accommodation: Hotel Iru Mercure (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

After breakfast, you are collected from your hotel and transferred to the Argentine side of the falls. Inside the park, there are many walkways, which take you to different viewing platforms with fantastic views of the falls and the surrounding sub-tropical forest.

Walkways connect the upper and lower circuit as well as the Devil’s Throat, arguably the most impressive part of the Falls as this is an area with the highest concentration of flowing water.

You have plenty of time to marvel at the Falls from different viewpoints before we return to our hotel. Today’s tour will be a shared service with other non-Exodus customers.

Accommodation: Hotel Iru Mercure (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Head into Brazil today to see the Falls from an entirely new angle. Passing through the visitor centre, board the internal buses that run deep into the forest, following the route towards a trail set above the Iguazu River.

Continuing, pause at viewpoints overlooking the Iguazu Canyon, Salto Rivadavia and the Tres Mosqueteros falls, where the river surges through narrow basalt cliffs.

Towards the end of the route, we reach the lower viewpoint for Devil’s Throat, just 650ft (200m) away. The constant spray here creates near-permanent rainbows, adding a little extra theatre to an already powerful scene. The visit concludes at Salto Floriano, where an elevator carries us back up to the bus area. If you prefer, you can take the footpath and climb the steps to the same meeting point.

In the afternoon, you fly to Buenos Aires, where you are met and transferred to their hotel.

Accommodation: Huinid Obelisco Hotel (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Today you are transferred back to the airport for your onward flight. Depending on the time of your flight, you may have another chance to see more of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires.

Meals included: Breakfast

Vaccinations and Health

Argentina

There are no required vaccinations. However, recommended vaccinations include tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, typhoid, and yellow fever (strongly recommended if you intend to visit the Iguazu Falls due to a recent outbreak in the Misiones province). Please check all vaccination recommendations with your doctor or travel clinic.

Bilharzia is known to occur in some lakes or rivers in Argentina; follow advice from your guide or leader locally before venturing for a swim.

Dengue and zika, both mosquito‐borne viral diseases, are known risks in Argentina. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available; therefore, the best form of prevention is to take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

Brazil

There are no required vaccinations. However, you may want to consider vaccinations for hepatitis A, tetanus, typhoid, rabies, tuberculosis and yellow fever. Please confirm with your doctor or travel clinic. The risk of malaria is slight, but you may wish to consult your doctor or travel clinic about the need for antimalarials.

Additionally, zika and dengue fevers, which are both spread by mosquitoes, are known risks in places visited. There are currently no vaccines or prophylaxes available; therefore, we strongly recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

Vegetarians are catered for throughout the trip, but please ensure that you advise us before you travel so that we can make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.

Weather

Since Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons there are the opposite to those in Europe. Our trips to Argentina are organised between October and April (their summertime). Iguazu Falls is located in a subtropical rainforest environment. The average daytime temperature is 31C-33C (88F-91F), nights average 19C-20C (65F-67F). It is mostly sunny, hot and humid; however, rains are common in spring and summer.
