Admire the mighty Iguazu Falls from both Argentina and Brazil

Straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazu Falls stretch almost 3 km and this short tour provides opportunities to see both the panoramic views and the adrenaline-rushing up close-and-wet versions. Iguazu is a Tupi Indian name meaning 'Great Waters', and once you see this mighty testament of nature you will understand why!

The maximum number of travellers is indicative of maximum number of travellers during join-in activities only.
