Brazilian Side of Iguazu Falls Tour with Ticket Foz do Iguacu

Iguazu National Park, Brazilian side

The Brazilian park was recognised by UNESCO in 1986 and protects a large area of Atlantic forest around the falls. The visit is set up around one long trail and a few viewpoints, so it is straightforward for visitors of all ages and requires no special equipment.

A shuttle bus takes visitors from the entrance to the start of the trail, and your guide meets you and explains how the day works. It is the easiest way to see Iguazu Falls if you only have half a day, and the ticket included in the tour means you can go directly to the entrance.

The panoramic trail and viewpoints

The trail follows the edge of the canyon and gives you a series of wide views of the falls on the Argentinian side across the river, with the water spread across the cliffs in dozens of cascades. It is the best place to understand how large the whole system is and to take photos with everything in the frame.

The walk is mostly flat with a few steps and takes about an hour, with stops for photos. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen for the sun. The trail is also a good spot to see butterflies and birds, and coatis sometimes come close to visitors, so keep food in your bag.

The walkway close to the falls

At the end of the trail, a walkway reaches out over the river toward the Devil's Throat, the biggest fall of the system. A lift and viewing platforms give you a close view of the water, and you will feel the spray and hear the roar.

Bring a light rain jacket, because the mist can soak your clothes, and protect your camera and phone. The walkway can close temporarily when the water is very high, and your guide will tell you what is open. The area can be busy, so patience helps.

Practical visit: pickup, timing and what to bring

Pickup is at your hotel in Foz do Iguacu and starts around nine in the morning, with the exact time confirmed after booking. The tour lasts about four hours, and the transport is shared with other passengers.

Bring your passport or ID, as it can be asked for at the park entrance. Meals, drinks and tips are not included, and there are cafes in the park if you want to stop. If you also want the Argentinian side or a boat ride, look at our other Iguazu tours, which can be combined on another day.
