Geführte Expedition mit Kanufahren und Wasserfällen in Iguaçu

We were met on location by Jefferson, Frank and Arthur. First of all Jefferson took us on a walk along a trail whilst telling us about the flora and fauna and about the area. The trail led to the river bank where we were met again by Frank and Arthur. We got in the kayaks and paddled down river until we came to a point where a small river emerged. We stopped and climbed up beside the river until we reached some rapids. We were able to get in the water at this point and play in the rapids which was great fun! We then made our way back down to the main river and paddled back up to the starting point. We were met again there by Jefferson who escorted us back along the trail to the base. Altogether a very enjoyable 3 hours or so.

I cannot say enough positive things about the flexibility, knowledge and just fun and joy that I had on this kayaking trip. In short, if you like the water and being in nature, DO THIS EXCURSION! This is exactly the type of thing I like to do when I’m on vacation and traveling. But when I was doing my research, this never came up! I didn’t even see it listed in things to do until I was already on my way to Foz do Iguazu. I wasn’t sure then if I could fit it in, but the guys from the company figured it out and helped me make it happen (communicating in English by WhatsApp). I signed up the night before, showed up that morning and I am so glad I did. I did this in the early morning when I had a flight that early afternoon to Rio. I was able to get back to my hotel shower change clothes grab my luggage that was already packed and got to the airport in time. Whew! Because it was the winter and cold in the morning ( I did the early morning trip), I was the only one on the trip. I cannot say enough about the fact that instead of canceling on me, I got a private excursion. I had so much fun and learned so much about the area, The wildlife, the river, the history of the area . And it was just a great day on the water with a nice hike in and out. I’ll be honest. Because it was so hard to find out about this, it didn’t come up in my initial searches, and every review is five stars (how’s that possible?) , I was concerned that it was a scam. I 100% assure you it is not a scam. The other thing that kind of took me back was a meeting spot is a bit out of town and in the intersection between the farming community and the woods but on Google maps it said it was a eco sports company so I figured what the heck.why not. Again, I’m so glad I did. The guys speak English and of course, Portuguese and also some Spanish maybe other languages too. I love the story of how their company came to be. They used to go to the river for fun for themselves after working and on weekends and they said, hey is there a way we can turn this into an actual job and they did! And we are all the better for it. I love the story about how the first year they were hiking all the equipment in in the morning down to the river, then doing the tours, then finishing the tours, then hiking all the equipment all way back out of the river area and into storage somewhere. They come a long way since then! No more hiking equipment in. They have their own permanent structures etc. I think they’ve been in business for about a little bit less than a decade. There was a storm a couple years ago that destroyed their changing room and nice bathroom outpost so be aware of that. Tip - wear water shoes and layers. I had socks on and water shoes for the first part of hike because it was cold but by the end, I was warm and toasty. In short, if you like the water, do this!

Foi um experiência única, trilha tranquila e guias experientes, a canoagem foi muito legal primeira vez que fizemos e foram super atenciosos.
