Brasilianische Seite der Iguazu-Wasserfälle - Optionale Bootsfahrt

The boat tour includes a truck ride through the "jungle" but quite honestly, it is a non-event and you are unlikely to see anything other than trees! That said, it's a pleasant ride and a nice way to get to the boats. At the end you are going to have to walk quite a way downhill to the river, the end of which could prove difficult for some, so I must warn the walking impaired. The return climb will be taxing! It may exist but I saw no disabled provision. Once there the boat ride is an absolute thrill and you will go right up the river to, and in, the falls. You are going to get very, very wet. I am fairly old but you could not wipe the smile off my face and as we entered the full thrust of the deluge I was laughing my head off with joy. I would not have missed this trip for the world.

The guide for the trip was very helpful and knowledgable so I do not want to take anything away from her at all. That said, the trip is overpriced for what it includes and we very quickly realised on arriving in Argentina (let alone Iguasu) that you can achieve everything this tour includes on your own for a fraction of the price. We paid circa $98 per person for the trip which does not include the local park tickets. A taxi from our hotel (in Argentina) to the park would be $30-50 total depending on the exchange rate. While it may seem helpful to have guidance for the border it isn’t difficult so isn’t necessary. Tripadvisor contacted us prior to the day to recommend we purchase the park tickets in advance. I strongly recommend purchasing in advance as it saves time on arrival at the falls entrance. This reinforced my thinking that this trip is unnecessary to purchase as the only thing you need to visit the falls is not included in the prices. The optional add on to the tour was the boat ride. Tripadvisor wanted $215 per person for the boat ride. We declined and purchased it directly on arrival at the park for circa £55 per person. Far cheaper. It would have been even cheaper if we had local cash available. Once at the falls they are spectacular and 100% worth visiting. I strongly recommend the boat tour, be sure to book park entrance in advance. With the guide you will find you cover the area quickly but still have time for all the key spots. On your own you would probably find you can take a more meandering pace allowing more time to take things in and if you like maybe even hang around in areas for slightly quieter moments.

Conseguí la excursion para realizarla por la tarde. El tiempo fue suficiente. Fue una excursion privada para mi mama y yo. Diego fue nuestro guía Y Lorena nos traslado. Fueron muy puntuales. Diego nos fue contando curiosidades del paseo y mostrando las cosas típicas del lugar ademas de cuidarnos durante el trayecto. Las cataratas del lado Brasilero ofrecen otra experiencia y vision del paisaje. Fue una excursion excelente en todo sentido. Super recomendable!
