Day 11 - Flight to Foz do Iguaçu (IGU) / Airport pick up and transfer to hotel - Day at Leisure
Foz do Iguaçu is considered by many to be South America's greatest natural sight. Formed by a succession of 275 interlinking falls up to 246 ft (75 m) in high, cascading over a 1,8 mile (3 km) precipice, shared between Brazil and Argentina, the falls are completely surrounded by nature preserves and national parks, containing one of the largest surviving tracts of Atlantic forest in South America. Raft the waters below the falls, hire a powerboat that skim the waters to the very foot of the falls, practice adventure sports such as hiking, trekking and wood canoeing or go visit the Bird Park or the world’s largest hydroelectric works, the Itaipu Dam. Foz do Iguaçu also offers a great 18-hole golf course.
Day 12 - Private Tour "The Falls" Brazilean side - Helicopter over the Falls experience!
The Brazilian side of the waterfalls lies across the river. It is the same geographic feature, as nature has no borders, but from the Brazilian side, visitors may appreciate the falls from a different perspective.
Rumor has it that the waterfalls are different “on the other side”. They look larger, more visual, and ideal to take a huge panoramic picture and share it with acquaintances, family and friends.
The truth is that on the Brazilian side, the waterfalls are just the same, but visitors may catch a complete glimpse of their front view, as well as of their grandness, due to the geographic situation of Parque Nacional do Iguaçú, which we reached by car from the City of Puerto Iguazú. Parque Nacional do Iguaçu is wonderful from every point of view and, just like its Argentinian equivalent, it is nestled in the heart of this green thick rainforest where palm trees, climbing plants, bamboo and ivy are common and give shape to an almost impenetrable layer.
Unforgettable Helicopter Experience Over the Falls:
On the Brazilian side, it is possible to have a unique experience by flying over the famous Iguazú Waterfalls at a prudent distance. These flights offer a majestic view of this geographical wonder of waters and falls. The sign located on the road invited us to a unique experience: flying over the Iguazú Waterfalls on a helicopter. This is one of the many flights leaving everyday from the Brazilian heliport. In a matter of minutes, they unveil the mystery of the falls from the air and they show how the Iguazú River continues its course until it empties into the Paraná River. Flying over the waterfalls on a helicopter is a tour like no other. It shows a unique sight of this place, which features the necessary magic to please the most demanding of mortals, even those who believe they have already seen everything.
Day 13 - Golf Round at "Iguassu Golf Club" with Carts
Iguassu Golf Club is located in the triple frontier of Paraguay , Brasil and Argentine , 8 Km , far from the Iguazu Falls from the Brasilian side. Besides the wonderful beauty of the environment, this course is very well known for its excellent maintenance and challenging greens design.
