3
days - 2 nights
Day 1. Arrived to Cataratas de Iguazú
You will be met on arrival & transferred to your Hotel,
Iguazu Falls.
Upon check-in, you will be contacted by a representative
of Jungle Explorer & given details of the pick up
time for tomorrows full day of activities. Most likely
you will have time to explore the short walking trails
on the Argentine side of the Falls, this afternoon at
your leisure.
Day 2. Full day of activities
(B) The day commences when you are picked up
from the hotel & shown to the JungleExplorer Company
headquarters. Here you will commence the morning guided
walking tour of the upper level trails & walkways
on the Argentine side of the falls.
You will be amazed at the quiet meandering & gurgling
of the waters of the Rio Iguazu as the river flows towards
its destined plunge over the near 90 metre cataracts.
Excellent photo opportunities abound around each corner.
The upper level walkways are approx 1.8 kms & will
take a good hour & a half with stops for viewing &
photos, to accomplish. These upper level walkways are
flat & there is little if any climbing of steps involved.
At the completion of the walkways, you then will depart
for one of two water based activities, river levels
permitting.
Access is by way of an open top 4 wheel drive truck
to a point some 8 kms above the Falls where you board
a rubber raft piloted by a professional oarsman for
a journey floating sedately down river, observing the
varieties of plants, insects, butterflies, birds &
reptiles that live on the banks. Be prepared to see
turtles, crocodile, all manner of parrots & kingfishers
& perhaps even Puma & Jaguar that inhabit the jungles
of this region.
Once your raft gets to the point of disembarkation (
which is well above the falls themselves ) you will
be taken to the Devils Throat walkway. Here, after some
300 metres of walking you come to the mightiest exodus
of water Rio Iguazu offers, as the main channel of the
river hurls itself downward in a roar & hiss of never
ending white foam & spray.
After a break for lunch, return to the Jungle Explorer
departure point & again in an open top 4 wheel drive
truck, head off into the jungle for 5 kms to Puerto
Macuco. Here you board a 24 passenger double outboard
powered vessel for an adventure up the Rio Iguazu, through
the rapids & on into the San Martin valley under the
section of falls that bears the same name.
The Jungle Explorer Company offers for sale, plastic
ponchos which we strongly recommend you take the opportunity
to buy one & wear it as here, you are going to get
wet. The poncho is not for show. Your boatman will expertly
manipulate the vessel in the current to get you the
best & most advantageous up close look at Tres Mosqueteros
& San Martin cataracts.
You disembark at a landing on the edge of the lower
walking trail & from here, you may use the free boat
shuttle & cross to San Martin Island to explore the
criss-cross of trails it offers, or wander back along
the lower walking trails which are approx 1. 5kms long.
They rise quite sharply up in a series of metal catwalk
steps, to join the upper level walkways & back to
the hotel grounds.
In the gathering evening twilight, look skywards for
Toucans who frequent the tops of the trees on their
way to roost for the night. On the conclusion of your
days activities, return to your hotel.
Day 3. Depart Cataratas de Iguazú
(B) After breakfast you will be picked up from your
hotel & transferred to the Argentine Iguazu Airport
