We visited 4 waterfalls and they were all amazing. Everything was beautifully chosen, from the cachaca distillery to the lunch spot. If you are looking for a hike, this might not be the best choice as you don’t really walk much, but you get to see amazing places.”

“This is not a tour, it’s a shuttle bus service to the dam plus entry tickets. You can very easily get a taxi to the dam, and then pay for the tour which the park organise. All this company does is drive you there with other passengers, you are then left and told what time to meet back. Save your money and organise yourself. The tour of the dam which Itaipu organise is great.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 136 reviews · 4 hours · from $24Best value

Spend about four hours exploring the Triple Frontier Landmark from Foz do Iguaçu. Hotel pickup, entrance, sunset views, and a cultural show are included. Expect free time, Brazilian, Argentine, and Paraguayan dances, plus a photo stop at the Yup Star Ferris wheel. English support may vary.

“All organisation, transportation and support from guide were excellent. Ferris wheeler trip was well worth it. Show was good although crowd control was a bit lacking. When we arrived we took chairs and placed behind those that had arrived earlier. That was fine. Only problem was we were seated next to the access path which was kept clear until show started. Then people at back came and stood in the access path blocking view for many. Outstanding facets of show were Tango dancing (primarily the final dance by a single couple was excellent who made extensive use of the space in a high energy performance) and the gaucho segment which…”

“It was a great experience. I feel blessed to have seen these falls. I enjoyed it much more than Niagara Falls, including the Maid of the mist boat ride. I do think it is valuable to see both the Argentinian and the Brazilian sides. I took my 13 yo daughter. We had a great time with Douglas. If I were to come back with my wife and son, I would ask for Douglas again. Douglas also allowed us to tack on an additional quick tour of Paraguay. It was a long but a great day. As a side note, I think the price is a bargain. Douglas drove us around…”
