Argentinian Iguazú Falls & Adventure
Breakfast at the Hotel. Tour to The Argentinian falls, visiting the Devil’s Gorge and Iguazú Falls. A train that goes to the waterfalls and the Devil's Gorge leaves from Yvrá Retá . We'll walk along a 600 meter path that joins the station in Cataratas with the area that goes to the footbridges. From the lower footbridges we will be able to watch the Alvar Nuñez, Bosseti and the Dos Hermanas waterfalls and the San Martin Island. Later on we will board inflatable rafts to shoot the rapids for 2 kilometres, on Iguazù River. We will take fourwheel drive vehicles to go back through the path of Yacaratía in the jungle of Misiones. |

Iguazú Falls - Brasil
Breakfast at the Hotel. Tour to the Brazilian side of the falls, a sight of splendid beauty. We'll make for Foz de Iguazú to visit the Brazilian part of the Iguazú falls and verify the saying that "the waterfalls are Argentine but the sight is Brazilian". As the saying reads, the best view of the falls is from Brazil. Later we’ll visit Itaipu’s Dam and we’ll make a City Tour through Foz do Iguazú. |

Ruins of San Ignacio & Wanda Mines
Breakfast at the Hotel. We'll go to the famous Jesuit ruins of San Ignacio Miní, a mission founded in 1610 by the Jesuits. The state of the ruins is very good and reflects the grandiosity of the Guaraní reductions. The remains of some 30 sites founded by the Jesuits in the XVII cenury, can be found hidden in the Argentine, Brazilian and Paraguayan vegetation.
In the Argentinean town of Wanda, the great attraction are the precious stone mines: agate, amethyst, topaz, rock crystal, among others. We will go around tunneled or open-air mines. The town has a variety of stores where jewelry is sold. In some places they control the entire process, from the cut of the stone to the object manufacturing. |

Sailing along the Delta of the Lower and Upper Iguazú River
Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning we will start sailing the Lower Iguazú River from the quay located opposite San Martín Isle. By motorboat we will go to the lower canyon of Iguazú River and skirting the isle; we will get to the Tres Mosqueteros fall, having a wonderful view of the Brazilian and Argentinean falls and the outstanding Devil’s Gorge. On top of all, we will have unique panoramic views of the waterfalls from the Argentinean side, and experience the unforgettable baptism at the stand of San Martín, the world’s biggest waterfall a motorboat can challenge.
In the afternoon we will go sailing through the Delta of the Upper Iguazú River. We will leave from Canoas Port on 4x4 trucks. From the Devil’s Gorge Station and on specially designed rafts, we will sail into the Upper Iguazú Delta. Along the journey, we will see the gallery forests, reed beds and small branches of the Iguazú River that shelter a variety of flora and fauna. We will have the rest of the day off. |

La Aripuca (Agro-Ecological Enterprise)
Breakfast at the hotel. We will visit an agro-ecological enterprise intended for the exhibition of recovered examples of trees and raising the awareness of the conservation and promotion of the environment protection. We will find more than 30 species of wood typical of the National Iguazú Park. La Aripuca arose out of concerns associated with the irrational use of the Misiones Forest and the relationship of the farmer with his productive environment.
La Aripuca has several hectares; you can go in through a dead log that belongs to a great cassia fistula or iberá-pitá that lived more than 1,000 years. The inner part of the log remained hollow due to the termites, whose nest already empty, can be seen in one of the walls of the cassia fistula. This tree was attacked by some fungi which served as food for the termites. Going through the log, you pass a wooden door of two sheets of 300kg each, giving the place a prehistoric appearance.
Then you get into a wood room by a tunnel, all built with wood of the same tree. In the interpretation room there are very strange furniture made of polished cedar roots. You can see a 30x30cm life-sized aripuca, identical to the ones used by the Indians. This little wooden trap was made of sticks tied in its extremes forming a pyramid.
The trap was set on the floor with a little stick that kept it elevated by one side. They put food inside and when the animal got into the aripuca, stepped on the stick and the trap fell in a horizontal position, leaving the animal trapped but without causing it any harm.
Opposite the little aripuca, there is a young eight-year cassia fistula. At the back is the giant aripuca made of 30 tree species, such as guatambú, petiribí, guayubirá, apuleia leicarpa, enterolobium contortisiliquum, tipuana tipu, among others.
