- Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat) — The crown jewel: a U-shaped cliff where dozens of waterfalls converge into one thunderous, mist-shrouded curtain. You walk out on a metal platform and feel the roar and spray up close; personal favorite — it’s the most visceral “I’m tiny” moment you’ll get here.
- Upper Circuit (Circuito Superior) — A series of rim walkways that give sweeping panoramic views of multiple falls at once. Great for photos and for seeing how the river slices through the rainforest; the perspectives change every few steps.
- Lower Circuit (Circuito Inferior) — A set of trails that bring you down toward the river level and underneath some cascades. You’ll get splashed, hear the water’s bass up close, and see different angles of islands and plunge pools the rim overlooks miss.

- Gran Aventura boat ride — A wet-and-wild boat trip that takes you deep into the Iguazú River and right under some of the falls. Not the quietest experience, but unbeatable for adrenaline and the “you have to see this to believe it” factor.
- Isla San Martín — A small island reached by boat where short trails and stairways lead to viewpoints facing big drops. It’s quieter than the main decks and gives an intimate middle-of-the-river feeling that’s surprisingly cinematic.
- Ecological Jungle Train & rainforest walks — The little eco-train is practical and charming, dropping you into jungle trails where toucans, coatis and a riot of butterflies are common. The biodiversity here is part of the attraction — the falls don’t stand alone, they sit inside a living ecosystem.
- Wildlife and birdwatching — Beyond the water, the subtropical forest hosts unique wildlife: coatis that will steal snacks if you’re careless, colorful birds, and plenty of butterfly species. Good binoculars pay off; it turns a visit into a mini nature safari.
