The place is unique and beautiful and wonderful
On 17 Sep 2024 we went with my family (husband and a 9-month-old baby) to visit Foz de Iguazu Falls (to be clear, the falls on the Brazilian side)
When we arrived we were approached by a woman who followed us to present us all the proposals that the park has (we believed that her intentions were good AND CLARIFIED THAT SHE IS A WOMAN EMPLOYEE OF THE FALLS)
It helps us get the tickets out and then tells us that there is a ride like in a truck + hike + boat:
I’m going to detail more about this since this is where I question the consistency of all the employees of the famous Macaque ride in Brazil.
It tells us that this walk is recommended to do with my 9-month-old baby, that the walk does not recommend it because of the bugs that may be there, but the “boat” does.
In fact he told us, on the Argentine side it is not recommended (me having done it on the Argentine side it is a walk that I would NEVER think of with a child , less with a baby!!!)
Since I agree that on the Argentine side it is not advisable to go with a baby, this woman tells us the same thing and tells us that in fact there is one option that wets and another that is just mist in this boat pass, which is safe,
With my husband we said the ride in that little truck and the little boat may like our baby (given that she is very observant and us believing that it really is a “small boat” ride)
He also told us that all this was 1 hr long.
When we go into the ride, we see more baby strollers “parked” at the door so nothing caught our attention
We started the ride, the little truck well, the hike we did not do since it was a recommendation of this woman, and when we got into the “boat” it was a boat with many seats next to each other where they suggest us sit behind and give us vests.
The boat starts to go , picks up speed, goes through rocks, water whirlwinds, I sum it up, it was a boat WORSE than the one on the Argentine side to go with a baby!!!
As they're gonna recommend that ride saying q is a boat ride
They put my baby's life at risk
It is a shame, a danger that exposes the life of a baby in this way and that on top of that they recommend it to only earn one more commission, because of course, this ride is 100 USD
It endangered my daughter's life, and the lives of other babies and children who got on the same boat where another mother said that if she knew it was like this, she wouldn't go
It goes without saying that I had to hope that
Ride finish to get off that dangerous boat with my 9-month-old baby!
Not only that, but no other person responsible for this ride seeing me
With the 9-month-old baby she was able to tell us q was not recommended
Even before we went upstairs they asked us if we wanted to go to the one that dips you, without words....
It is a danger that they expose the lives of children like this (because I repeat, it was a walk that we were suggested to do with our baby) because if I knew that it was a boat that was going at that speed , on that river hitting jumps and such rocks logically did not go (I did not know how it was on the Brazilian side. But when this rather inept woman tells me that on the Argentine side it was not safe to go with baby (how I agree) than on the Brazilian side if they were unfortunately I trust, and lied to my face threatening the life of my little daughter .
I post this so that no other innocents fall for these “recommendations” where they don’t care who uploads
It should be clarified that in 2011 a boat turned around ending the lives of 2 adults, ‘imagine a baby
I really felt very bad about getting recommendations from a woman who Labura inside the park, where the adjectives I leave to the reader
Please do not recommend this in children anymore and put q only allowed for older
Bhrennon was an exceptional guide.. so knowledgeable and answered all questions put to him. He has a passion for the Falls and wildlife and this made the experience very enjoyable. The Falls are breathtaking .. while we had to pay for visas into Argentina and other taxes … it was all well worth the money… highly recommend.
It was great to have a guide take us to the Argentinian side of the Falls from Foz do Iguaçu. Makes the border crossing quick and effortless.
Because we had 2 people in our group that had opted for the Brazilian side on the same day, I felt like we were rushing around to make sure they would have enough time for the second part of their tour. I picked a tour of just the Argentinian size specifically because I didn't want to be rushed.
The people in the group should all be doing the same thing so we're not on someone else's schedule.
