Journey to Iguazu: 4-Day Adventure from Buenos Aires with Airfare

Make your own way to Jorge Newbery Airfield in Buenos Aires for your 1.5-hour flight to Puerto Iguazu, which sits just across the Iguazu River from Brazil and is only 11 miles (18 km) from Iguassu Falls. When you arrive, you’ll be picked up by your guide and driven to your chosen hotel. The rest of the day is yours to have dinner in town (own expense) and do what you wish, while start knowing this nice city.

This day start with a pick-up at the hotels of Puerto Iguazu after breakfast. You will travel with your guide to the Brazilian side of the falls.

With your guide, walk for roughly one hour (1.2 miles) along a 3,280-foot (1,000-meter) path from Das Cataratas Hotel that will take you to a fabulous viewpoint of Devil's Throat, where the largest amount of water pours through Iguassu Falls. At 262 feet (80 meters), Devil's Throat is Iguassu’s largest individual waterfall and a definite must-see. You’ll then have time to buy lunch at one of the restaurants in the park (not included), or, if you’ve brought a packed lunch with you, have a picnic at one of the park’s several scenic spots. You may also wait to have lunch when you get back to Puerto Iguazu. Your guide can give you suggestions for restaurants inside the park.

In the early afternoon, return to Puerto Iguazu and spend the rest of your day at leisure.

This day starts by a pick-up in Puerto Iguazu's hotels. On this day, you will enjoy the falls from another point of view, the Argentine side.

Explore the area in three parts, both with your guide and during free time to roam on your own. Start with a 2.5-mile (4-km) train ride to the point where the Iguazu River turns into Iguassu Falls. Disembark the train here to visit a viewpoint that overlooks Devil’s Throat, allowing you to enjoy another perspective of this stunning natural wonder. Next, tour the Upper Circuit, a 45-minute uphill walk that rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of many of the waterfalls, including Dos Hermanos, Adam and Eve, Bernabe Mendez, Mbigua and San Martin.

Lastly, head with your guide to the Lower Circuit, where an 0.8-mile (1.3-km) trail provides incredible photo opportunities of lower falls such as Bossetti. You’ll then be transferred to the Visitor Center, where you can take the train back to Devil’s Throat. During the day, you’ll have time to buy lunch at one of the restaurants in the park (not included), your guide can offer suggestions, or bring a packed lunch with you from Puerto Iguazu to enjoy eating in the great outdoors.

Return to Puerto Iguazu in the evening, and make the most of some free time to relax and savor dinner.

After breakfast, enjoy more free time in Puerto Iguazu to pick up souvenirs or take a walk around town before you are transferred to the airport for your flight back to Buenos Aires. There is a range of flight departure times, which you can choose after booking.
