The Argentine Side Of Iguazu Falls
The Argentine side of Iguazu Falls is not designed to be observed from a distance.
It is designed to immerse you inside the landscape itself, where trails, jungle, mist, and water gradually unfold throughout the day.
The Argentine Side Of Iguazu Falls
Full-day experience
All ages
Iguazu National Park – Argentina
What To Expect From The Experience
The experience begins early in the morning with a private crossing toward the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls, home to nearly 80% of the waterfall system. While the Brazilian side is known for panoramic views, the Argentine side offers a far more immersive experience, placing visitors directly within the landscape of the falls.
Inside Iguazú National Park, the day unfolds through rainforest trails, suspended walkways, and multiple circuits positioned above and beside the waterfalls.
One of the defining moments is Garganta del Diablo, or Devil’s Throat, the largest and most powerful section of the falls. Reached via the Ecological Jungle Train and elevated walkways crossing the river, the viewpoint places you directly above the immense cascade, surrounded by mist and sound.
The experience also includes the Upper Circuit, offering broad panoramic perspectives, and the Lower Circuit, where trails descend closer to the water and surrounding jungle.
Throughout the park, wildlife sightings are frequent, with coatis, tropical birds, and butterflies commonly appearing along the paths.
Rather than focusing on a single viewpoint, the Argentine side reveals Iguazu gradually through movement, proximity, and changing perspectives across the day.
What To Expect
The experience begins with a private crossing to the Argentine side of Iguaçu Falls, known for its immersive access to the waterfall system. Inside the park, the day unfolds through rainforest trails, suspended walkways, and panoramic circuits positioned beside and above the cascades.
A highlight is Devil’s Throat, where elevated walkways place you directly above the most powerful section of the falls. Throughout the experience, changing viewpoints and close proximity to the water create a dynamic and immersive perspective of Iguazu.

(Translated by Google, see original)An absolutely unforgettable journey — thank you, Brazil Exclusive Travels! From the very first email to the final goodbye, planning our trip with Brazil Exclusive Travels was a genuine pleasure, and we could not recommend them more highly. Our three-week journey across Brazil — the Lençóis Maranhenses, Salvador de Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Angra dos Reis, the Iguaçu Falls and the Pantanal — was organized flawlessly from start to finish. A very special thank-you goes to Vincent Droesbeke, our travel consultant, who looked after us with extraordinary care both before and during the trip. He crafted an itinerary that balanced adventure, culture, nature and pure relaxation perfectly, and not a single detail was left to chance. He even came to welcome us in person when we landed in Rio — a thoughtful, personal touch that meant a great deal to us — and surprised us with a wonderful room upgrade on top of it. Every transfer, flight and connection ran perfectly, and each local guide and driver was outstanding: knowledgeable, warm and genuinely passionate about their country. The experiences they arranged were once-in-a-lifetime — a scenic flight over the Lençóis, the Iguaçu Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, and, the highlight of them all, watching a female jaguar and her cub play at sunset in the Pantanal. Thank you, Vincent and the entire BET team, for turning our dream of Brazil into reality. We will treasure these memories forever — and we will be back! Ilaria & CristianoThis agency went above and beyond for my trip to Rio de Janeiro. From the first email to getting on the plane back home. The tour guides, security team and drivers were amazing-professional , friendly and always looking out for me. I felt completely taken care of the entire time, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I'm so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free, high high quality travel experience.Dara and Brazil Exclusive Travels is a 5 star plus company. I would give them 10 stars if possible! Dara and her team helped me plan a perfect Rio holiday. She had ideas on everything from tours - to restaurants - to transfers - to a Michelin level chef to cook for us! Plus Dara and her team were with us every step of the way! Honestly I have nothing negative to say about this company at all! I highly recommend them.I reached out to Brazilian exclusive travel as I was unable to order tickets for a concert for a birthday visit to São Paulo. This happens a lot when booking things if you’re not in or from Brazil but Brazilian exclusive came to the rescue!!! They ordered my tickets and did everything they could to reassure me about safely receiving them! It was a 10/10 for my experience! Quick and efficient, too! Using them to book the rest of my tours and things whilst I am there! 🩷🩷🩷🩷Brazil Exclusive Travels arranged a private tour for a corporate group of 20 people. All the logistics pre-tour handled by Felipe were very well coordinated. Communication was very clear. The team was very attentive to details. Our tour guide Juliana was amazing. I highly recommend them for experiencing the best of Rio.We spent a fantastic 2 days in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of November. Thanks to Felipe everything went exactly as planned. The guide and driver arrived always on time, theyp were extremly polite,attentive and courteous. Tatiana, the guide was perfect, showed and told everything that could be done in just 2 days. It helped a lot that the driver always dropped us off at the closest location and waited us, as well as fast pass entrance tickets to important places. Overall it was a wonderful experience, just as we had imagined. Thanks to everyone who participated in the organisation and implementation. I recommend the office to everyone, they were very fair. Suzan from HungaryLeave with peace of mind for Brazil, in RIO by entrusting Camille with the care of organizing your stay. With a perfect knowledge of RIO and its surroundings, your efficient help and relevant advice Camille have been very valuable to us and in particular: obtaining tickets for a match at the Maracana (delivered directly to our hotel room), putting us in touch with a French-speaking guide for a morning visit to Santa Teresa (request made the day before), organizing a transfer Ilha Grande - Rio with a stop at the Rio heliport for a flight over the city (Help in choosing the helicopter company) ... Responsiveness, Rigor, Precision and solutions provided (even to last-minute requests): Camille has a great sense of service and support for a tailor-made trip. Thank you Camille for your assistance, your discreet, pleasant and so comfortable presence, you have greatly contributed to the success of our trip.
(Translated by Google, see original)We had an amazing experience!!! Felipe Tauile went above and beyond for our guided tour to help with restaurant recommendations, reservations, and even private airport transfers. He responded immediately to all of our questions and even pivoted plans around weather cancellations. 10/10 recommend and plan to utilize his expertise for future business trips in Brazil!Went for two weeks for carnival. Dara our tour organizer and Pedro our driver were amazing at organizing everything and patient with multiple changes many of which were last minute as we learned more on the ground about different events or places we should experience. Although definitely on the higher side price wise it is worth it if you want a stress free private experience. We will definitely be recommending to any friends traveling to Rio. Anyone who enjoys history should definitely take the private tours as it is you with a guide fluent in your language and whom are very sociable. If you have a lack of plans or want a more dynamic day I’d book the car for the day. The drivers can recommend places to shop, beach, eat etc as can Dada. Ubers can take a while and even the Uber blacks are basic Toyota Camrys and not always in the best of shape.
