Travel by air-conditioned private vehicle from Foz do Iguacu across two countries in one day. With guides such as Cristian, Eduardo, Fernando, William, and Leandro, you’ll visit Devil’s Throat, the Argentine trails, and Brazil’s broad panoramas, with optional boat rides and help at both borders.

“The tour was incredible and made better by a Eduardo, our tour guide. To see the Iguazu Falls from both Brazil and Argentina lets us grasp how enormous they really are. Having Eduardo as our personal guide made the experience so enjoyable. From being picked up at our hotel, to assist us through immigration at both border crossing, quickly entering both National Parks, and even arranging the helicopter tour over the falls. Our tour of Iguazu Falls was fun and informative.”

3.Iguazú Falls Private Day-tour on Both Brazillian & Argentinean

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 126 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $103

Travel from Foz do Iguaçu with a private bilingual guide such as Sidnei, Douglas, Fernando, or William. Visit the Brazilian and Argentine parks, cross the border with help, walk to Devil’s Throat, and add a boat ride if time allows.

“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…”
