Scheduling Tips

The following tips are for people with limited time in Iguazu

 

Tip 1 – Save time by combining airport transfers with a visit to the falls – if you don´t have 2 full days to see both sides of the falls, then save time by combining an airport transfer with a visit to one side of the falls.  For example, we can pick you up and take you straight to the falls, and later pick you up again and take you to your hotel.   Alternatively, on the day you depart, we can first take you to the falls, and then pick you up later to take you to the airport.

Tip 2 – Transfer to both side of the falls on the same day – Although we believe you will have a better experience seeing each side of the falls on separate day’s, we understand that sometimes your travel plans and flight schedules do not allow this. In these cases, you may program your visit to both sides of the falls on the same day.

Brazil Side of the Falls

Brazilian Side of the Falls (Private Round Trip Transfer)

Your visit to the Brazilian Side of the falls is made in a private vehicle, which allows us to schedule your pickup time to suit your plans.
