After a 2-hour flight, you will land in Iguazu and meet your private guide. From there, you'll enjoy a 15-minute drive to Iguazu National Park. Skip the lines with your reserved tickets and board the park train. Explore both the upper and lower trails, learning about the local flora and fauna. Be amazed by the breathtaking views of the waterfalls from the Argentine side. At midday, take a short break and enjoy lunch (at your own expense) before boarding the train to the Garganta del Diablo Station, deeper into the forest.
