Iguazu Extension

Visit the impressive Iguazu Falls, the largest waterfalls system in the world

The Iguazu Falls are located to the far northeast of Argentina on the border with Brazil. Staying on the Argentinian side you will have the opportunity to wander around this Unesco World Heritage National Park packed full of flora and fauna. The falls are accessed by a series of walkways above, along and below the falls giving guests an entirely unique perspective of this cascading wonder surrounded by lush rainforest.

Sustainability and Impact

As a certified B Corp, we’re on a mission to improve our social and environmental impact across all our adventures.

We do this through our innovative Thriving Nature, Thriving People plan.

This ‘nature positive’ approach is designed to help nature and communities thrive in harmony though practical solutions, such as reducing carbon and waste on our trips, supporting conservation projects through the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation, and rewilding 100 square metres for every Exodus traveller.

Is this trip for you?

This tour extension includes a shared half-day tour of the Argentine side of the Iguazu falls. There is no Exodus leader on this shared extension, but you will have the services of a local guide, all tour transfers and be provided with the contact details of our local partner in Argentina in case you should require assistance.

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.

Weather

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