Description
Feel the profound power of the Iguazu Falls in South America on a day trip to the border of Brazil and Argentina! From the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguacu in the state of Parana, this guided walking tour gives you a full day exploring the trails and paths surrounding the waterfalls while taking in the magnetic appeal of the cascading Iguazu River!
The stunning Iguazu Falls are located at the borders of Brazil and Argentina and are one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Two parks named after the river were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Sites by both Brazil (1986) and Argentina (1984). The name Iguazu is a Guarani word meaning “big water,” aptly named as the largest waterfall system on Earth.
This is where you come in! Our program will start from Foz do Iguacu, a tourist center dedicated to serving travelers who wish to see the falls, making it a perfect place to begin a trek to the rushing water. Upon entering the Iguazu National Park from the Argentina side, we will head for the falls. There are a number of possible trails, including the Devil’s Throat walking path. This route extends out to an 1,100-meter catwalk above the river.
The Upper Trail (1,750m) offers sweeping views of the captivating scenery surrounding Iguazu Falls. For those who want to feel the immensity of the water, there is the Lower Trail (1,400m) that will place you front and center to the cascades. Most of the “jumps” are on the Argentinian side of the river, so the views from everywhere are immaculate.
We will also view the falls from the Brazilian side, where a 1,200-meter trail takes you to a viewing platform of the Devil’s Throat. Bring a poncho (or buy one along the way) so you can safely and comfortably feel the mist of the rushing water. Complete with a panoramic elevator (as well as a walking path), you will catch every possible angle of the miraculous and photogenic of the glorious cascades. This is the most fulfilling way to take in the entirety of Iguazu Falls.
Once we have sated our hunger for natural beauty and waterscapes, we will head back to Foz do Iguacu and Parana to recap and remember the unbelievable program we have just completed.
Everyone is encouraged to join and there is no experience necessary. A love for the outdoors and an appreciation for nature are all that is needed to have a blast on this walking tour. I will make sure we have a safe, satisfying, and all-around fun time exploring the lush landscape surrounding an iconic landform in South America. You won’t want to miss this trip!
Book your one-day walking tour of the Iguazu Falls NOW and come to the border of Brazil and Argentina to see one of the Seven New Wonders of the World from the accommodating city of Foz do Iguacu in Parana!
We can also head deeper into Brazil and enjoy a trekking program at Chapada dos Veadeiros from Alto Paraiso de Goias!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
