What you'll do on day 11
- Breakfast at the hotel. You have a packed itinerary of excursions awaiting you. You'll head to the Brazilian side of the Iguaçu Falls, which border the canyon of the Iguaçu River. To say that this is a magnificent sight would be an understatement of the emotions you'll experience. The falls are located within a national park with unique flora and fauna. They were formed by volcanic eruptions and shifting tectonic plates. The name "Iguaçu" in the Guarani language means "big water." 275 waterfalls, each with its own name, merge into one, thundering down into the "Devil's Throat" gorge. The spectacle of water sprays in a rainbow halo is simply mesmerizing. On the way to the most powerful waterfall called "Devil's Throat," you'll see numerous smaller waterfalls. The rainbow mists of billions of drops of falling water and the magnificent landscapes evoke unparalleled delight.
- Next, you have three more excursions - Macuco Safari, Bird Park, and Helicopter Flight over the waterfalls.
- Macuco Safari - you'll embark on an exciting Macuco safari through the jungle in a jeep. You'll be accompanied by a guide providing information about this national park. Through the jungle, and then on foot, you'll arrive at a specialized platform on the Iguaçu River, where an impressive boat journey awaits you under the waterfalls. There, on a specially equipped boat, you'll get very close to the waterfalls. Unique views not only of the waterfalls but also of the slopes of mountains covered in tropical greenery await. Your breath will be taken away, and adrenaline will surge as you find yourself under the continuous flow of water cascading from above, providing a unique view of the waterfalls.
- Bird Park is located near the Iguaçu National Park. This exotic bird park covers 4 hectares of pristine subtropical forests. Here, you can see (or even feed) more than 500 species of exotic birds from various continents in their natural habitat. Crocodiles, monkeys, and other animals also inhabit the reserve. You'll enter huge aviaries where amid the tropical forest, amazing, fairy-tale birds of exotic colors fly freely or stroll.
- Helicopter Flight over the waterfalls. Unique panoramic view! The helicopter takes off from the Iguaçu National Park on the Brazilian side and flies around the waterfall quite low, providing a wonderful opportunity to see all the splendor of the raging natural elements.
