Macuco Safari Tour

After viewing the falls from land, it's time to view them from the river, via thrilling zodiac ride along the rapids, to the smaller falls and through and under the falls - yes, getting drenched.

On the Brasilian side, it's the Macuco Safari and on the Argentine sideit's the La GranAventura excursion.

Both include an "eco-drive" in the park and a thrilling boat ride on the river and rapids and to the falls. The Macuco excursion begins and ends at the same point; La Gran Aventura begins with the drive and ends with the boat trip or vice versa.

In either case, be sure to have plenty of protection from the water. Not only will the spray get you, but the boat's captain will make every effort to bring you under the falls, and that means getting wet. A rain poncho can be purchased at the pier for around $3.
