With 275 waterfalls, within a radius of 2.7km, the Iguaçu Falls are not a privilege of Brazil. Its wealth is shared with Argentina, and the canyon can be seen from both countries.

An average of 1.6 million tourists per year arrive carrying cameras or smartphones, and a raincoat.

The record was set in 2014, when the flow reached 46 million liters per second! There was so much water that the main viewpoints and walkways that give access to the falls had to be closed, as a safety measure.

The park has also received countless distinguished visitors. Former First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt, was one of them, and compared Iguazu Falls to Niagara Falls. After the tour, she concluded: “Poor Niagara!”.

The Brazilian side of the falls offers the best view of the falls. When entering the park, those who are driving can leave it in a parking lot and then take the bus (the service is already included in the ticket price) until the platforms start. Despite the steps, the path is well signposted and easy to walk, even for elderly people.

Along the way there are several viewpoints and, from each of them, you can see the waterfalls from different angles. If it is already impossible not to get wet during this tour, at Macuco Safari bathing is more than guaranteed. In it, visitors travel by train to the edge of the Iguaçu River, from where a speedboat departs towards the Salto Três Musqueteiros, on a tour that allows you to see the falls from below.
