Iguazú Falls

Post-Trip, 3 Days

Taller than Niagara, Iguazú Falls is also twice as wide with 275 cascades spread in a horseshoe shape over nearly two miles of the Iguazú River. Situated in Iguazú National Park in northeastern Argentina, this natural sanctuary is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, owing to its beautiful landscapes and subtropical forest, with 450 species of birds, including toucans and parrots, butterflies, orchids and endangered jaguars. We view the Falls from several perspectives: via jetboat at river-level, and high above the rushing waters, immersed in mist, on Naturalist-led walks along a series of catwalk paths. The monumental Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo) is the culmination of our experience as the air fills with vapor and water thunders 350 feet down into a river canyon — an incredible display of raw power.

Itinerary - 3 Days

Day 1 — Ushuaia/Buenos Aires, Argentina

Disembark our ship in Ushuaia and proceed to the airport for our flight to Buenos Aires, where we transfer to the luxurious Caesar Park Hotel. This seductive city set along the Rio de La Plata has been the gateway to Argentina for centuries. Settle into your hotel, conveniently located in the fashionable Recoleta district with its shops and galleries, and have dinner at your leisure this evening.

Day 2 — Iguazu Falls

After our short flight from Buenos Aires to Iguazu, we take a 15-minute bus ride directly into the National Park. Today we have close-up views of the Falls, beginning with a Naturalist-led walk of the Upper Circuit, offering panoramic views of the rushing waters. The catwalk takes us to the awe-inspiring Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), the most impressive falls in the park, where 14 cascades drop 350 feet with such force that there is always a 100-foot cloud of spray overhead. We take a catwalk that leads to river level, where we board small boats for a ride over water rapids, a spectacular approach to several of the many falls. Following this exciting adventure, we’ll then check-in to the Sheraton Hotel, the only hotel within Iguazú National Park, where we’ve reserved rooms with stunning views of the Falls. This evening we soak up the views at a cocktail party on the veranda, followed by dinner at the hotel.

Day 3 — Iguazu National Park/Buenos Aires/U.S.

Join us for a morning walk to Sendero Macuco, a forest trail where we hope to spot birdlife, especially toucans, and learn about the sub-tropical forest from our Naturalist. Later, you may wish to walk the trails of the park on your own, or visit other parts of the waterfalls. This afternoon, we’ll fly back to Buenos Aires and connect to an overnight flight to the U.S.
