2.Argentinian Iguazu Falls with Boat Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 146 reviews · 8 hours · from $197

From Puerto Iguazu, a multilingual guide leads you through Argentina’s Iguazu National Park, to Devil’s Throat and the lower falls. The highlight is Gran Aventura, a fast boat ride toward San Martin Falls that leaves you soaked. Groups can reach 15 people, with guides speaking English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

“The boat tour inside the waterfalls was absolutely amazing! Beautiful perspective and it makes you feel exciting when you go under the big falls. You will be completely wet so either bring spare clothes or plan some time to dry in the sun afterwards. The rest of the tour, a guided visit to the devils throat, was not really necessary. Would be more fun when self-organized”

“Overall a great experience. The falls are world famous so nothing to add to other reviews. Our guide Ricardo was superb. He spoke excellent Spanish and English to our group and was always a step or two ahead of the tour activities. He got us in early so only one large tour group was ahead of us at Devil’s Throat trail but that was mitigated by taking our time getting on the trail. We also did the middle trail to see the majority of other falls. A quick snack before joining the jungle truck/ falls boat ride. The jungle truck, at its core, is a ride to get you from…”

Nunca se pusieron en contacto conmigo ni responden los correos electrónicos ni los mensajes. Me cobraron muchísimo dinero 390 USD por 3 personas. Y EN CATARATAS DE IGUAZÚ NADIE LOS CONOCE Y EL MISMO TOUR POR PERSONA CUESTA 60 dólares.”
