Visiting Iguaçu Falls, From the Brazilian Side

Iguaçu Falls is the widest waterfall in the world, and also boasts the world’s highest recorded water, comprising falls on both the Brazil and Argentina sides.

Iguaçu Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Brazil side was listed in 1986 and the Argentinian side in 1984 – but both countries listed the falls as National Parks back in the 1930s.

The falls are a popular tourist attraction and are accessible from cities across Brazil as well as Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Macuco Safari 

I had the opportunity to take part in the Macuco Safari, which is the adventure tour operator on the Brazilian side of the waterfalls. 

Helicopter Ride Above the Falls

Another experience offered on the Brazil side of Iguaçu Falls is a helicopter ride. I did this, and it was awesome.

Circuit

Unlike the park on the other side of the border, the Brazilian national park has just one circuit. 

Wildlife in The Iguazu

Coaties, tapirs, and monkey cai are among the mammals you may find at the park, although both tapir and monkey cai are rare.
