Macuco Safari offers an exhilarating and immersive experience into the heart of the Iguazu Falls, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. This popular tour, located within the Iguaçu National Park on the Brazilian side, combines adventure, nature, and breathtaking views. The adventure begins with a ride through the jungle in open-top, electric-powered vehicles, providing panoramic views of the surrounding flora and fauna. Knowledgeable, often bilingual, guides share insights into the park's history, the local ecosystem, and the incredible biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest. Keep an eye out for orchids, bromeliads, and maybe even glimpses of local wildlife. Next, you can choose an optional 600-meter walk along a suspended trail that leads to Salto Macuco, a smaller, picturesque waterfall. Alternatively, you can remain on the electric vehicle to the end of the trail. The trail passes Salto Macuco, a 20-meter waterfall, where you can take pictures. The highlight of the Macuco Safari is the boat trip. After the jungle trails, visitors arrive at a deck with a souvenir shop, bathrooms, and a snack bar. From there, suspended elevators descend to the Iguaçu River. Prepare to board a twin-engine boat for a thrilling ride. Experienced pilots navigate the boat up the river, facing the rapids and heading straight for the base of the falls. Ponchos are provided, but be ready to get soaked as the boat ventures directly under the cascading water, offering a unique and unforgettable perspective of the immense power and beauty of Iguazu Falls. The Macuco Safari lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. It's a popular activity, so booking tickets in advance is recommended.
