Iguazu Falls - Argentina - Dive Discovery

Day 4: Shared Full Day Tour of the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls

We always start the tour early in order to beat the crowds and get the first train to the Devil's Throat, where you can walk along the catwalks over the islands to the most spectacular view of the entire Devil's Gorge, a balcony over the falls. You then have plenty of time to walk the 800 metres of paths on the upper circuit. These new suspended walkways are detached from the jungle surface so as to protect the fauna by preventing disruption of their natural trails. From this circuit you have an upper view of the falls, enjoying their magnificence with a panoramic view. It takes around 1 hour to cover the upper circuit. The lower circuit contains 600 metres of walkways, also detached from the jungle floor, and has great views from below and around the falls. Once you have finished all the circuits, you must go back to the visitor centre where the vehicles are waiting for the transfer to the hotels or the airport.

Overnight at the Hotel la Cantera Iguazu in a standard double room with breakfast included.
