Helicopter rides over Iguazú Falls

A unique panoramic experience to see the Falls from the air, with options for a short flight over the falls or a long flight through different tourist spots in the region.

One of the most impressive views of Iguazú

From the air, it is possible to contemplate the magnitude of the Iguaçu National Park and observe the waterfalls from a completely different perspective than traditional circuits.


The heliport is located in front of the Bird Park, in a very practical tourist area to combine the walk with other attractions on the Brazilian side.
