Iguazú Falls Holidays

One of South America’s most awe-inspiring sights, Iguazú Falls (spelt as Iguaçu or Iguassu Falls in Brazil) aptly translates as ‘Big Water’ and is a true natural wonder of the world. One of the largest waterfalls in the world and sitting on the borders of Brazil and Argentina, 275 individual cascades thunder into the river below in a magnificent rainforest setting. We recommend visiting the national parks in both countries to experience the waterfalls in all their glory, which we can easily arrange.

In the Iguazú National Park on the Argentine side, a large network of paths, forest trails, boardwalks and viewing platforms offer unbeatable close up views of the falls - the show stopper being the mighty Devil’s Throat. Weave your way through the rainforest - keeping your eyes peeled for Coati’s (racoon like creatures) who scurry along the forest floor, beautiful colourful butterflies and toucans in the trees overhead - until the falls appear dramatically before you.

Seeing the falls from the Brazilian side allows you a more panoramic view and incredible photo opportunities, so should also not be missed. Prepare to be amazed by the sheer power and beauty of Iguazú Falls.

Trailfinders offers a range of Iguazú Falls holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore with a knowledgeable guide on a private touring holiday, join a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine Argentina with Brazil – they are the perfect people to ask. beautiful colourful butterflies
