A classic excursion at Iguazú Falls for those looking for a more intense experience within the park.

The Gran Aventura is one of the most chosen activities to do in Iguazú Falls. It combines a tour through the Misiones jungle with a boat ride to the jumps area.


The experience begins with a vehicle tour of approximately 5 kilometers, accompanied by bilingual guides who interpret the natural and cultural riches of the Iguazú National Park.


Then, the land tour culminates in Puerto Macuco, where the boats are boarded to navigate some 6 kilometers through the canyon of the lower Iguazú River towards the waterfall area.


It is the most impressive section of the excursion: you will have a very close perspective of the falls and a completely different view of the falls.


The Gran Aventura is also known as the waterfall excursion, although it includes much more than navigation.
